“I was just trying to protect my organs”

On the early morning of July 23rd, 2013 in South Boston, Alexandra Cruz is violently attacked on her way to the Dunkin' where she works, but the man disappears into the night before cops can catch him. Just a few hours later, another young woman, Amy Lord, is caught on multiple ATM cameras all across town, emptying her bank account—she is badly injured, and with a masked man, who’s carjacked her black SUV. News of the criminal's spree spreads fear throughout Boston, but college student Kayleigh Ballantyne is unaware of the looming threat and as she walks home alone that evening, she will come face to face with the South Boston Slasher. But what he doesn't know is that Kayleigh has been watching him too, ready to take him down and fight to get justice for all of his victims.
