Synopsis

They met only once but back in 72 David & Peter had lasting empression on one another, for one of them he was stabbed continually with a fountain pen, leaving him with ever lasting bodily scars. As for the other his savage attack on his childhood opponent after his publical humiliation and defeat, was a catalyst that ended his parent's marriage, as his father left forever, his offspring discovered his mother dying having been slashed with a broken bottle. This boy spent the next twenty years in and out of asylums and foster care. Now it seems he's become one of the youngest, most successful chess grandmasters in history. Brillant if troubled widower with a precious daughter, he suddenly finds himself a suspect in his casual lover's murder. When more homicides occur Capt. Frank Sedman and his partner, Det. Andy Wagner discovers that a serial killer is at work on the New England island, with our chessmaster becoming more and more connected to the deaths, shrink Kathy Sheppard is brought in to figure out if this chess-prodigy is so innocent as he claims to be.
