Leaving a bloody trail of bodies from coast to coast, the serial killer known as Van Gogh marks his victims with his gruesome signature. After ten such bodies the FBI finds him and guns him down. For Boston lawyer Jimmy Morrissey, however, Van Gogh's death is only the beginning. Morrissey has problems of his own and things get worse when he is told about a chilling piece of evidence. A photograph of a beautiful woman with Morrissey's name and address scrawled on the back found in Van Gogh's apartment. Who is the mystery woman and what connects her and the serial killer to Morrissey? New clues surface to make him wonder if the dead suspect was indeed the real killer. With a murderer possibly still at large and a client who technically no longer exists, Morrissey is left to mount a defence for the dead.
