From the versatile talents of actor, director, producer, and award-winning author Eriq La Salle comes a thrilling crime thriller series that will keep you on the edge of your seat, relentlessly questioning the blurred boundaries between good and evil. Spanning three decades, this chilling saga has claimed the lives of 36 priests, with the most gruesome act yet to come. Every ten years, for the past 30 years, a dozen clergymen have been brutally murdered, their deaths mimicking the gruesome scenes of Jesus and his disciples. Known as The Martyr Maker, this serial killer has left his mark on New York City in 2011. NYPD detectives Quincy Cavanaugh and Phee Freeman, along with F.B.I. agent Janet Maclin, are aware that they have a limited window of time to catch this monster before he completes his final cycle of killing and vanishes forever. However, their investigation becomes even more complex when they uncover a shocking truth: the seemingly unrelated clergymen are not the symbols of godliness that their community believes them to be.
