During New Year's Eve celebrations in Baltimore, a sniper shoots 29 people from a high-rise balcony. When young police officer Eleanor is called to the scene of this brutal crime, FBI agent Lammark realizes that the psychologically preloaded colleague seems to be the only one who can empathize with the unknown killer. Therefore, despite her inexperience, he spontaneously wants her to join his special unit, which is supposed to catch the amok shooter as soon as possible. A desperate race against time begins. While the investigators are still grappling with false leads and internal conflicts of competence, the unpredictable perpetrator is wreaking further carnage in a shopping mall. The pressure on the team grows. Will Eleanor be able to overcome the demons of her own dark past and track down the enigmatic mass murderer before he has more people on his conscience?
TO CATCH A KILLER is pure high tension cinema. This film opens up a view into the deepest abysses of US society, which is shaped by the gun lobby, and into the wrangling over competencies and internal rivalries in a police apparatus that is overwhelmed by the extent of the violence.
