Criminal Minds meets X-Men. Eight years ago, FBI Profiler Charlie Campbell caught and arrested Adrian Hidson, Chief of Police and leader of a human trafficking ring. She had been anticipating his escape ever since she put him away. After he finally does get free, she is shocked to find he doesn't want revenge. He wants her to join him. He says he sees potential in her. For the last eight years, he has been obsessed with getting to know her. Adrian is a shifter who can become anyone in the world. When he takes someone's form, he inherits all of their memories, their personality, and their ability while still maintaining his consciousness. He can become anyone... except for Charlie. Meanwhile, in New York City, a serial killer dubbed "The Artist" is leaving crime scenes of life-sized self-portraits for the public to find. Each victim is posed in a very populated area, yet no one saw how they got there. Criminal Minds meets X-Men with a mix of Sherlock/Moriarty cat and mouse games. Trigger warnings: Suicide, sexual abuse, torture, murder, animal death, and graphic content.
