Synopsis

Between February 1929 and October 1931, Peter Kurten brutally murdered eight people and attacked many others. He killed men, woman, children and animals, anything that crossed his path. He spread the same panic Jack the Ripper once did in London. Eventually this brutal sadist voluntarily gave himself up to the police. A young ambitious lawyer, Justus Wehner, is assigned to defend the killer. Wehner is certain that Kuerten suffers from a severe mental disorder and decides to prove Peter Kurten is insane. Wehner starts to study the killer’s mind, but the further he sinks into Kurten’s motivation and psyche; he gains less control over the case.
