A killer, wearing a white mask, stabs a woman to death in the forest. Mark (played by director Mark Sparks), an African-American, is having relationship problems with his Thai girlfriend. After they verbally fight he goes over to his friends' and plays basketball, venting about 'women'. Soon after, the killer, who is now videotaping his murders, kills his girlfriend. The police, having no other leads, go to Mark's apartment and arrest him. The Defense lawyer tells him that he is up for a double homicide, for killing his girlfriend and the unborn child she was carrying. But there isn't enough evidence to hold him and he's released. Nine months later Mark seems to kill a man with a knife. Back again at the police station it's revealed that Mark may have killed eleven of his friends at a party. His prints are all over the weapons, the police can place him at the time of the murders, and Mark isn't exactly cooperative. Although a bit disjointed at first there is indeed a reason for the editing style, for through the use of extremely effective flashbacks the viewer is shown exactly what has happened, and that the killer may not be Mark at all but one of his friends, Dre (Andre Walker), who is a bit unstable. Or it may be indeed be Mark. The movie succeeds in keeping you guessing the identity of the killer until the very last frame. This is perhaps one of the best shot-on-video features I have ever seen.
