The Behavioral Analysis Unit is called in to help Chicago detectives investigate a series of bizarre murders: a couple shot to death in a parked car; two women strangled in a public park; and a young man's decomposed body stuffed in a plastic barrel. The crimes seem unrelated until profiler David Rossi recognizes that the murders are modeled on those of three notorious serial killers. Someone is taking "true crime" to terrifying extremes, and Rossi wonders how he can possibly profile a killer who's hiding within the killer profiles of others.
