In Los Angeles, a quiet gardener named Carl Martin leads a double life that unsettles the city he tends to every day. By daylight he cultivates plants, but by night he commits brutal, precise murders, using a pair of shears to end the lives of young blondes. The juxtaposition of his ordinary routine with such shocking violence creates a chilling undercurrent that casts a shadow over a city that wants to believe it’s safe. The killer’s identity remains a mystery to most, even as the body count climbs and the community grows increasingly wary of the next strike.
