When former detective Ted Bassingthwaighte met mass murderer Malcolm Baker, he saw the psychopathically cold look in his eyes. Years earlier, Baker - who was married three times, met 16 year old Kerryann Gannon. He was obsessed, wanting complete control. So when she ended the relationship, he was filled with jealous rage. Armed with his gun, he violently rampaged the small Australian town, killing anyone in his sight.
