Charles Everett Whitaker is a shy, sensitive teen until his life is turned upside down by the suicide of his bullied younger brother. He ends up in the Army where Larry Chandler, a former gang leader befriends him and teaches him how to exact harsh justice, beginning with a sadistic sergeant. In Vietnam, Charles discovers that killing becomes even easier for him, and he becomes good at it – very good!
A freshly appointed CID Warrant Officer, Stefan Rexford, is ordered to investigate these incidents. He connects Whitaker to all the dates and locations of the deaths, but with no evidence whatsoever, he can only watch as, wherever Whitaker goes, more killings occur. After almost a year, just as a frustrated Rexford believes he is closing in on Whitaker, his Vietnamese fiancé, Lan and her family are killed by the VC and he is sent back to the US where he joins the FBI.
In Kentucky and Delaware, the baffling killings resume and Stefan enlists the aid of Beth Peterson, an Army MP CID investigator and with shared determination, they pursue and probe Whitaker and all aspects of his life, but will they get him or will Whitaker turn the tables?
