Synopsis
Nine years after successfully assisting in the conviction of a serial rapist/murderer, whose conviction was based mainly on his testimony to look past circumstantial evidence, the forensics psychiatrist and professor Jack Gramm receives an anonymous phone call stating he has 88 minutes left to live. Looking to his few friends and analyzing what little information he is given, he has that much time to find out who his potential killer is before his time is up.
