One family. Three generations.
Seven murders.
It is January 2005. New York is blanketed by snow. A killer driven by hatred roams the streets of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn pizzeria owner Ernest Costa leads a normal life. His business is thriving. He has a beautiful wife, and everything to live for. Returning home from work one freezing night, his life is snuffed out by a brutal and frenzied knife attack in a dark alley. His throat is slashed. A Celtic cross is slit deep across his back. Is the cross the signature of a psychopath? A recidivist who will strike again? Or is it an isolated attack? Someone knows the killer’s identity…
Two years pass. The murder investigation stalls. Fingers are pointed at the senior detectives leading the manhunt. Removed from the case by his superiors, disgruntled NYPD Detective Antonio Pecarro decides to leave the force he once loved. He resigns and sets up as a private investigator.
Another body defiled with the same signature is discovered within sight of the victim’s home. The victim’s wife witnesses the killer leaving the scene. The killer’s modus operandi is identical.

The heartbroken wife of the second victim decides to take matters into her own hands. She commissions P.I. Antonio Pecarro to identify and apprehend her husband’s killer.
Another murder striking at the heart of the NYPD happens…
