Short description
Ex-LAPD Detective and former chess prodigy Dan
Marlowe has a gift. He can see things that no
one else can see. But when a serial killer is put
to death, the murders start all over again and
Marlowe is haunted by the fear that he sent an
innocent man to the elect ric chair. As he "Chess Piece Murders" resume across the city of L.A. and show no signs of stopping, a copycat killer succeeds in using Roman Krieg, Marlowes ex-partner and brother-in-law, to suck Marlowe back into the deadly chess match. After suffering a mental collapse, Marlowe is convinced by Krieg to come out of retirement, check out of his psychiatric institute, and rejoin the case. Marlowe does so against his will, and behind his familys back risking his health, his wife Amy, and his sick daughter Claire.
