Former police detective Dan Marlowe (Matt Schulze) has a knack for seeing things no one else can; his psychic twinkle makes him good at solving crimes and a whiz at chess. Happily retired, Marlowe is slapped back to reality when a copycat serial murderer stalks the city using an executed killer's methods. Now, he must decide whether to risk his sanity by stepping back into his job and taking on the deadly case of the "chess piece murders."
