Bob Berdella ran a curiosity shop called Bob's Bizarre Bazaar in Kansas City, selling oddities and taxidermy to a steady stream of regular customers who had no idea what he did after closing. Interviews with law enforcement, journalists, and survivors reconstruct how he lured young men to his home, drugged them, and tortured them over days or weeks, keeping a written log and Polaroid photographs of each victim. The film walks through the 1988 escape of a captive who ran naked into the street and flagged down police, the search of Berdella's house that turned up envelopes of human teeth and a skull, and the trial that followed. It also addresses the claim that he cooked and served remains from his victims to shop customers, a detail investigators confirmed after his arrest. Rather than lingering on shock value alone, the film uses the case files and the survivor's testimony to trace how Berdella operated in plain sight for years before anyone caught him.
