Synopsis: Murder thriller revolving around a serial killer obsessed with the seven deadly sins, who uses the sins themselves as calling cards in a series of ritualistic murders. The gruesome murder of the prominent Jewish lawyer Eli Gould is discovered. Gould is made to excise a pound of his own flesh in the tradition of Shakespeare’s Jewish Shylock demanding a pound of flesh from Antonio. A note is left in Gould’s office with an extract from The Merchant of Venice, and written on the floor in Gould’s blood is the word ‘Greed’.
