Illeana Scott is an FBI profiler who probes the minds of killers.
She has a talent, based on instinct, for spotting and capturing the
most dangerous and most wanted criminals. In Montreal, a team of
detective call on her services in an attempt to penetrate the devious
mind of a serial killer. A long and meticulous study of her
subjects leads Illeana to conclude that he is someone with a compulsive
desire to steal lives, to usurp the identities of his victims.
But the local police are sceptical of her abilities and would rather
put their trust in more orthodox methods. Increasingly
marginalised, Illeana soon finds herself caught up in a terrifying
adventure where the only person she can rely on is
herself...
