Synopsis
Dr. Lynn Denlon becomes a pawn in the Jigsaw Killer’s latest gory game. Kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse, she finds Jigsaw bedridden and dying. Her task is to keep the maniac alive long enough for Jeff, a fellow victim, to complete his own task. Each is unaware that Jigsaw has much bigger — and deadlier — plans in store.
