Bone Daddy

Dying is the easy way out.

When renowned chief medical examiner William Palmer (Hauer) turns his forensic experiences into a lurid best-selling novel, he reawakens the wrath of one killer even he couldn't catch. Now, the real-life surgical psychopath known as Bone Daddy is back in action, extracting the bones of his victims - while carefully keeping their bodies very much alive. Teamed with a streetwise, yet disagreeable, homicide detective (Williams), Palmer races to unravel a diabolical mystery where the people closest to him are his prime suspects, and the victims who die quickly... are the lucky ones.
