The story

Adrian Wilde (Michael Callan) outwardly presents himself as a respected photographer specializing in animal pictures. Privately, he is a serial killer who preys on aspiring models, creating scenarios where they will die and taking pictures of them through the entire process, especially their final death expressions. He has a very hostile relationship with his mother (Barbara Nichols), who stood by as a previous lover attempted to choke him as a child, and now spends her time drinking and carousing with men, including his ostensible best friend Clinton (Spencer Milligan), who fences stolen jewelry.
