Eight years ago Ash Henderson was caught up in the investigation to find a heinous killer, The Inside Man. This killer kidnapped women, cut them open and sewed them back up with a doll inside them. Ash came close to capturing him, but was injured in the chase and the killer escaped.
Eight years ago Ash had a career, a marriage and a family. Now all is gone. His career ended when he was kicked off the police force, his marriage ended when his own daughter was kidnapped and killed. He is now an inmate, the toy of a psychotic woman high up in the crime organization that runs the city. She makes sure he never gets parole by sending other inmates to attack Ash days before his hearings; attacks that he has to defend himself in to save himself but that make him look violent and not a candidate for parole.
Now the Inside Man has returned, and the lead investigator pulls strings to have Ash released from prison. He is hired as a consultant to the investigation and along with a young psychologist, Alice, and his former mate, Shifty, he tries to catch the killer before he can take more victims. Can they catch the killer this time around?
