Jimmy Parisi is a cop with everything going for him - a good career with the Chicago PD, kids who have grown into nice teenagers through his single handed hard work and a beautiful young redhead who's just agreed to become his wife. But suddenly the flipside of Jimmy's life comes into play. Someone is raping and murdering young women, then mutilating their corpses. Is this a brand new Jack the Ripper, transplanted to the streets of Chicago, or is there some method behind this cutter's madness? The cops nickname the murderer 'The Farmer' as the grisly evidence suggests he's harvesting female organs for some sinister illegal trade. Using criminal profiling techniques, Parisi narrows his list of possible perpetrators to three- and then to a sole entry. Now he has the scent he is relentiess in tracking his quarry down. Killer and cop are set for an unforgettable confrontation, with Parisi's new wife clearly in the Cutter's sights...
