"Dr. Lector from Silence of the Lambs is a teddy bear compared to Jester. The Jester character is extremely dark and developing him, writing his bio, was scary. This is one of those series which I'm completely okay NOT being the director. hehehe" ----Director Maurice

An in-dept synopsis:
This taut, suspenseful, psychological episodic thriller centers on the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crimes (NCAVC) / FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, which deals with serial killers. This superbly crafted, harrowing series is dark, moody, somber, and truly frightening, yet exhilarating. Kale Ramsey and Patrice Lincoln, long time co-workers and friends are the NCAVC senior agents breaking in two rookies, Clive Pennybacker and Nita Holmes. Kale is the family man obsessed with solving cases, completely ignoring home life and it’s many problems in raising five children, two teenagers. Patrice is the working mom facing moral crossroads after her youngest daughter gets married and leaves the house. Nita, fresh out of boot, a starry-eyed street tuff rookie, who’s wanted this career her entire life, is horrified by the images she’s seen and is rethinking her career choice. Clive, the eager “let’s stop all serial killers” rookie is just the burst of new “rookie” energy Kale and Patrice do not need as they feverishly hunt nationally to stop Serials. The intimate and disturbing characterizations of mass serial killers who mutilate their victims (usually females and children) are shocking; particularly the character of evil, Jester. Move aside Dr. Hannibal Lector, Jester is the new face of evil. Jester, a notorious, cobra-like, intelligent doctor/psychiatrist turned psychopath serial killer of 28 families over a period of twenty years is the “Dr. Lector” type. Jester has been sentenced to assist NCAVC in solving serial killer crimes. The cat-and-mouse spell bounding battles of nerves and wits, Jester exudes with Kale, Patrice, Nita and Clive makes the discussions between Dr. Lector and Agent Starling a walk in the park.
