Inspired by a memoir involving a real-life serial killer, this six-episode series follows Jimmy Keene (played by Taron Egerton ), a murderer who, being imprisoned for 10 years, receives a tempting offer. He is assured to be free if he can get fellow inmate to confess to the murders, and this synopsis promises one of the craziest twist-filled stories ever.
