Detective Frank Demura, of NYPD Manhattan South, smells trouble when he reaches a crime scene, and investigates the murder of a Catholic brother whose body washed up from the East River. Soon Demura receives cut-and-paste notes from an unknown killer. After two more murders another note arrives predicting that the "big one" comes off when "purple and rose converge."

Meanwhile, the police lab reveals that Circe, the psychotic serial killer has "kissed" her victims to death. With unwanted assistance from the killer, Demura is relieved from the case and is sent packing to a psychiatrist, Sherry Dybinski. Analysis helps to answer some questions: What role did Demura's past play in these grisly murders?

Later, Demura is detailed along with his motley band of detectives to guard the president who is coming to town. Instead, Demura disobeys orders and directs his team to St. Patrick's Cathedral setting up a final confrontation with the predator from hell.
