After 6 years of brutal murders, the West Yorkshire Police fear that they may have already interviewed The Ripper and let him back into the world to continue his reign of terror upon the citizens of Yorkshire. Assistant Chief Constable of the Manchester Police, Peter Hunter, is called in to oversee the West Yorkshire Police's Ripper investigation and see what they could have missed.

VIBE

A grim, atmospheric descent into a police investigation gone cold. The Yorkshire setting feels suffocatingly real, amplifying the dread of a city under siege by a phantom killer. It’s a bleak, procedural mood piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
