Slasher: Ripper

Toronto's elite are thrown into panic when a member of the upper crust is murdered; a killer dubbed the Widow is on the loose; Detective Kenneth Rijkers is assigned to the case to help the victim's wife Regina Simcoe find closure.

The Widow strikes again, and intrepid newspaper editor Enid Jenkins is determined to capitalize on the murders.

Enid's newspaper declares another Widow murder; panic rises, and Kashtinsky gets high to keep focused; Eddie tries to flee, but Basil reminds him that he owns him; Kenneth uncovers proof that links the victims to the killing of Margaret Mehar.

The Widow sends a treat to Basil and friends, which sends Kashtinsky over the edge; the Botticelli sisters arrange for Verdi to have their portraits taken; Georges Rondeau, the prime suspect in the murders, preys on Regina.

The Widow's latest victim is found on Valentine's Day, dragged to death behind a horse and made up to look like Cupid; a torn piece of the Widow's weeds sends Kenneth and Regina off on a hunt; Salomé entertains bidders for Verdi.

The pressure gets to Israel, who admits to her and seven other involvements in Margaret's death; Kenneth secures the suspects, freeing only Israel to operate on a friend of Regina's - inadvertently putting her into the Widow's clutches.

With his other suspects jailed or buried, Kenneth targets Georges, a sly magician; as Kenneth closes in, the magician begins to lose his fragile grip on reality and sanity.

With the Widow's final victim nearly in her clutches, Kenneth's time is running out; however, upon revealing the killer's identity he grapples with how to bring justice to the victims.
