A wheelchair bound woman is strangled, and her mentally challenged son, Eddy, is arrested. When his alibi falls apart, the police are satisfied that he is guilty. Only Geraldine doubts whether Eddy would have had the cunning to kill his mother and cover his tracks so successfully.... The situation becomes more confused when the girlfriend Eddy claims he was with at the time of the murder denies having met him. Shortly after she is convinced she is being stalked, her dead body is discovered outside Eddy's house. As the body count grows, the detective chief inspector becomes confused, putting the investigating team under additional pressure.
