There is a spate of killings regarding single women in Atlanta. All seemingly picked up in bars at the weekend.

The police are looking for the Goodbar killer. Agent Bailey Malone (Robert Davi) seeks out his one time protege Dr Samantha Waters (Ally Walker) a forensic psychologist out of retirement.

Bailey knows that the killer will strike again soon, so it is a race against time.

Only Sam Waters is living like a recluse. After a previous incident with a serial killer called Jack of All Trades who is still at large.

Bailey needs Sam. She has the special insight of getting into the minds of the criminal. That is why she was a top profiler.

It is clear from the first episode that this series pays heavy debt to Red Dragon/Manhunter. A burnt out profiler.

There is a darkness to the themes and it was also aping popular shows such as The X Files. There is an arc regarding this Jack of All Trades.

The mystery of the week was bang on average.
