The story

What Is Resurrection About?

The premise of Resurrection without spoilers.

A weary Chicago homicide detective is assigned to track a sadistic murderer who stages gruesome, dismembered victims throughout the city, each crime scene accompanied by twisted biblical quotations. As the body count rises, the detective confronts his own cynicism while racing against a killer who seems to be sending a message.
