Wichita, Kansas was typically quiet for over a decade; in 2004, anxiety and fear swirls again. Dennis Rader(Gregg Henry), an all-American, church-going, devoted husband and model citizen had a dark and deep secret. Between 1974 and 1991, he tortured and murdered at least ten people in and around Wichita. The hunger of his former notoriety, awakens when Robert Beattie(Maury Chaykin)lets it be known he is writing a book about the BTK killer. The previous murders turned into one of the most infamous of cold cases until a new letter arrives at a local newspaper...the monster inside Rader rears its head again. Detective Jason Magida(Robert Forster)and the police department must stop the terrifying serial killings from starting all over again. The hunt is on. Being made-for-TV, there are no gruesome murder scenes, which I would have welcomed. Also in the cast: Michael Michele, Mimi Kuzyk and Mike Turner.
