This brazen thriller follows Salman Seegers, who starts working for the Sterf­show (Death Show) as a pathol­o­gist. It comes easy to him, until a candi­date ends up on top of the Death List who is very dear to him.

He discovers that Carmen's brother Steve, who has been arrested, is innocent, and frees him. Out of jealousy, he attacks Carmen. Carmen's friends arrange for Joz and Steve to flee abroad.
