About the series

The story follows Jeffrey Dahmer from his teenage years through the series of murders that went undiscovered for years. It examines the circumstances surrounding his crimes, the warning signs that were overlooked, and the failures that allowed him to continue for so long without being stopped. Rather than focusing solely on Dahmer, the series gives significant attention to the people affected by his actions. Through their stories, it portrays the devastating consequences of the murders and the painful reality of how many opportunities there were to intervene before his crimes finally came to light.
