The story

What Is Hangman About?

The premise of Hangman without spoilers.

Detective Roos (LDP) investigates a string of murders where victims are suspended by a snapped support, dying by noose. Each killing mirrors a word in an online Hangman game, linking the deaths. His investigation leads him to Grace Mitchell (Madchen Amick), mysteriously tied to every victim. The killer seeks ruthless vengeance against those who haunted his mind.
