In a small town in Ontario, during the mid-90s, Jackie Williams, chief of police, rolls out of bed to begin her morning routine when a dead body is called in. Surprised that a murder had popped up in sleepy Summerside, Jackie shows up and finds something out of a nightmare. As Jackie and her team investigate the crime, the bodies start to spill into the streets, literally. All of the victims are weight-lifting men whose bodies are being reduced to skin and water. When Jackie digs deeper, the murderer hits close to home, sending Jackie into an emotional spiral where she finds out the murderer isn't your ordinary psychopath but a testosterone-sucking monster instead.
