Zúrivý šialenec, ktorého sa nikdy nepodarilo chytiť; nepolapiteľný vrah, ktorý držal celý národ v strachu; americký Jack Rozparovač. Oficiálne sa prihlásil k trinástim vraždám, potom k ďalšiemu tuctu. Polícia mu pripísala sedem obetí, z ktorých päť neprežilo. Skutočný počet sa nedozvieme nikdy... Príbeh je založený na skutočnom prípade sériového vraha, ktorý desil obyvateľov štvrte Bay Area v San Franciscu a zosmiešňoval autority v štyroch organizáciách po celé desaťročia. Uloviť lovca sa pre štyroch mužov stalo posadnutosťou. Posadnutosťou, ktorá ich od základov zmenila.
Lucy Huttonová a Joshua Templeman sa navzájom nenávidia. Nedá sa povedať, že sa iba nemajú radi. Ani že sa neochotne tolerujú. Nie, oni sa fakt neznášajú. Obaja pracujú ako asistenti riaditeľov vydavateľstva, dennodenne sedia oproti sebe v kancelárii a svoju nenávisť si ventilujú prostredníctvom rituálnych pasívno-agresívnych hier. Lucy nechápe Joshuov odmeraný, upätý a úzkostlivý prístup k práci. Joshua zasa krúti hlavou nad farebnými vintage šatami, ktoré Lucy nosí, jej svojráznym vystupovaním a prehnaným optimizmom. Vo firme sa črtá možnosť povýšenia a neutíchajúci boj dvoch najvážnejších uchádzačov o miesto prevádzkového riaditeľa vrcholí. No hoci sa napätie povážlivo stupňuje, Lucy zisťuje, že možno to, čo cíti k Joshuovi, nie je nenávisť. A možno uňho je to takisto. A možno iba rozohrali ďalšiu, oveľa nebezpečnejšiu hru!
