Beneath the Leaves (2019)

Synopsis

Among countless others, four small-town boys are kidnapped by James Whitley, a deranged, warm-eyed psychopath. His grotesque pursuit to reunite orphaned children with their deceased birth parents is gridlocked when the boys escape and he is arrested. Twenty years later, Whitley flees during a prison fire and decides to see his mission through by revisiting and annihilating his former victims. Detective Larson, one of Whitley’s prior victims—and now a cop—is removed from the case due to impartiality, leaving his partner and lover, Detective Shotwell to solve the case. Fueled by rage and a chance of redemption, Larson chases the steadfast psychopath on his own, only to fall back into the same trap he once escaped as a child.
