The paramedic escapes and makes it back to the ambulance where a mystery killer has poured gasoline around the van and as he tries to flee, it is ignited and then the driver is killed. Ahead watching we see, a stranger wearing a white Greek marble statue mask shrouded in black.
The next scene we see Lou, played by Elena Kampouris, jogging with earbuds, while we hear the shutter sounds of an unseen photographer snapping her picture. She feels something, as some say, it is possible to feel when an unknown person snaps your picture. Unable to see anyone as she scans the upscale and manicured subdivision she continues her run, reaching home without incident.

We understand as the news is playing on the flatscreen, the city is ablaze as riots are continuing for a second night. We understand from the anchor/newswoman Lana, played by Olivia Summers, law enforcement is impotent in their effort to bring peace to the city.
Lou’s father, Patrick, played by Jeremy Previn, is retired from the police force and is busy making her breakfast for her first big day back at work as a paramedic. When she arrives at the station, she is met with her sexist boss Rick, played by Sean Astin. She is assigned to a call deep in the riot zone.
With each call, Lou and her partner, Jason, played by Jamie M. Callica, are led by a diabolical sadistic taunting killer, who through each murder unearths elements of a deeply buried secret covered up by a handful of officials a decade earlier. Pulling the noose slowly around the past, the audience becomes witnesses to police corruption, terror, and horror.
