Set in the early 1980s, the story begins with FBI agent Bill Hagmaier, a seasoned criminal profiler, being assigned the daunting task of interviewing Ted Bundy, who has been convicted of multiple heinous murders. Hagmaier aims to delve into Bundy's twisted mind and gain insights into the psychology of serial killers, hoping to shed light on the motivations and methods behind Bundy's brutal crimes.

The manipulative Bundy attempts to gain the upper hand in the conversations, using charm and intelligence to toy with Hagmaier's emotions and motivations.
