Greg is the host of a true crime podcast dedicated to uncovering the identity of a serial killer, last active over 20 years ago, known only as Dead Hand.
A killer named after a mysterious radio transmission which has been broadcasting an indecipherable code in the years since Dead Hand vanished.

With time already running out, can he finally crack the code and catch the killer?
