Two journalists set out to get the definitive story of infamous serial killer Ted Bundy, as told by the man himself.

As investigators search for a suspect in the string of brutal murders near Seattle, a woman manages to escape the killer's clutches in Utah.

Following several brazen escapes, Bundy flees to Florida, where he unleashes a wave of atrocities. Also, a simple traffic stop spawns a mystery.

Bundy's double-murder trial transforms into a bizarre circus with an unhinged ringleader. Later, the accused makes a last-ditch effort to stay alive.
