Dexter, an amazing series, inspired this story to come to my vision! The TV Show is highly recommended! WARNING: This story contains elements that can lead to sensitive topics! Viewer discretion is advised.
Dimitri Aleksandr, AKA Mark Matthews, a notorious international serial killer known as the Masked Butcher, is on the run after murdering over 500 people across more than 100 countries. Dimitri justifies his killings with a personal code that was created by his father, US Ambassador in Russia, Elijah Matthews: to hunt down those he deems/names "Unforgivable," and the "Higher-Ups" from ordinary people committing sins to powerful individuals in government, crime syndicates, and celebrities. His twisted upbringing-marked by the early and brutal death of his mother, his dark, mysterious past, and bullying of his dark desires, though a part of him still seeks love and understanding.
After settling in Detroit with his sister and brother, Dimitri makes a risky move, infiltrating the Detroit Police Department's Homicidal Department as a crime scene technician. Here, he continues his brutal crusade, using his position to cover his tracks while eliminating those he believes are tainted by sin. As the Masked Butcher's killing spree intensifies, the FBI, CIA, and police across the globe tighten their pursuit, unaware of his true identity.
