Beneath the Leaves

Four small-town boys are kidnapped by James Whitley, a deranged, warm-eyed psychopath whose grotesque pursuit to reunite orphaned children with their deceased birth parents is gridlocked when the boys escape and he is arrested. Twenty years later, Whitley flees during a prison fire and decides to see his mission through. Detective Larson, one of Whitley's prior victims, is removed from the case due to impartiality leaving his partner and lover, Detective Shotwell, to solve the case. Fueled by rage and a chance of redemption, Detective Larson chases the steadfast psychopath on his own, only to fall back into the same trap he once escaped as a child.
