In the mid 1980s, Kansas City women start to vanish; they all share one thing in common, an odd connection to the same man who calls himself "The Slave Master"; police must be just as wily if they want to bring down this serial killing sadist.

Someone snatches a student from her college campus in Indiana, while a second missing girl turns up dead months later. Then, terrified girls report a man trying to lure them into his van, but is he the real killer? Police wonder until one man confesses.
