Zach Taylor is assigned to the blind [[Serial Killer]] suspect Martin Grace in order to determine if he is fit to stand trial. Grace is implicated in 12 brutal murders, many of which he described to the victims in detail days beforehand. Grace says that he simply 'saw' the deaths before hand and that they were really carried out the 'dark man' stalking him. The murders ceased after the onset of his psychosomatic blindness. |
