A mother who calls 911 to report her 32-year-old son is threatening her turns up dead in her home. He becomes the only suspect, and when he turns himself in, his pragmatic retelling of the slaying isn't just cold-hearted, it's psychopathic.

Searchers for a missing woman find her brutally beaten body in a dilapidated house near her home. The case goes cold until a local teen steps forward to reveal that he's not only the killer but also a manipulative psychopath with a thirst for violence.
