Logline
When self-professed criminal psychologist; RICK ROBERTS, sends a mystery package to true crime podcast host; Sofia, he unwittingly may solve one of San Francisco’s most infamous cold cases.
Synopsis
Operating out of his dingy basement in San Francisco, RICK ROBERTS professes to offer unique insights into the criminal mind. Few people realise how unique these insights actually are. Intolerant to the opinions of others in the online world of True Crime, Rick’s insatiable need to stay relevant, leads him into hot water, and could be instrumental in unwittingly solving one of San Francisco’s most infamous cold cases.
SOFIA GUIDICE, a true crime content creator and host of ‘Cold as Ice’ podcast is covering the case and discussing whether familial DNA could crack it. Rick has taken a particular interest in Sofia’s coverage of a case that he feels she knows nothing about.
Whilst initially irritated by Sofia’s unfounded theories on the killer, Rick’s irritation turns to rage. Safe in the knowledge that advances in DNA could never reveal his identity, Rick decides to send Sofia a package to prove that the killer is alive and well, and to feed Rick’s insatiable need to stay relevant.
