Detective Stan Aubray is brought back into investigative work to solve a series of murders similar in style to those of a serial killer he thought he put away in the past.. Shaping each crime scene and its victim to resemble a unique painting technique, where images are reflected and reversed, the killer taunts Aubray, evoking memories from the earlier case. As the elusive killer peels away the layers of Aubray’s life, an alternate version of the detective’s own history is eerily revealed, and doubts surface as to what really happened years earlier.
