[edit] Plot synopsis
After being acquitted of an infamous triple murder which he claims to have not committed, Sean Veil becomes paranoid that the police are trying to set him up. To avoid being framed, he takes several precautions, such as shaving off all his body hair and filming himself constantly to avoid implication. But when police begin to question his whereabouts during a murder, he is unable to find the tapes that would provide an alibi, which causes him to become further paranoid as he suspects a conspiracy. Veil goes on the run, desperately attempting to fabricate an alibi for himself whilst also trying to uncover the conspiracy against him. This draws him into a complex web of truth and lies. Forensic profiler Saul Seger and Katie Carter, a reporter set up Sean in oder to blame him for the murders, that way, both of them will get free and not be connected. However, Saul gets shot by Katie, and Sean shoots Katie when she tried to stab him with a switchblade. Detective Mountjoy and sveral officers arrive at Sean's place, where he shows him a tape of what happened.
