What would it take to make you kill the one you love? This harrowing feature presents an unflinching vision of the foul deeds that man is prepared to do to his fellow man. A violent tale of the lengths one is willing to go to for love, the shocking and violent nature of the story means that it's definitely not for the faint-hearted. Those who choose to persevere with such disturbing material, however, will be well rewarded.
The film begins with a pair of mutilated bodies being found on the streets of New York. To this apparent double murder, world-weary detective Eddie Argo and his rookie partner, Helen, are assigned and soon start connecting the murders with a series of double deaths in which the victims show up with "WΔZ" branded into their flesh.
It turns out the mysterious sign is actually the mathematical equation W-Delta-Z, created by the American geneticist George Price, that apparently disproves the existence of altruism in nature. But how does such a theory relate to the mounting pile of victims, and why is Argo behaving like he knows more than he is letting on?
