Synopsis
Each season is centered on a masked killer with an unknown motive for killing their victims. The first season, retroactively subtitled The Executioner, was co-produced by Chiller and Super Channel, and centered on a mysterious figure billed as the Executioner who terrorizes the fictional town of Waterbury, Canada. The second season, subtitled Guilty Party, follows a group of former summer camp counselors who return to an isolated campground in order to retrieve the body of a murder they committed, before being targeted, one by one, by an unknown killer. The third season, Solstice, is centered on a group of neighbors who are targeted during the summer solstice period due to their complicity in not saving a murder victim who was killed one year earlier in front of their apartment complex. The fourth season, Flesh & Blood, tells the story of an inheritance game in which the consequences for losing are death by the hands of the Gentleman-- an old family ghost story. The fifth season, Ripper, takes place in the late 19th century following a new detective as they unravel the brutal and torturous crimes of a woman clad in black silk, seemingly exacting revenge on a mysterious party that took place twelve years earlier.
