Was it the nightmare that woke him or the late night phone ringing that brought on the dream? Sgt. Reid of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police brought his family to Prince Edward Island, “The Gentle Island,” to get away from crime and homicides. He had to get away from the nightmares and concentrate on his family. PEI is a lovely place to live. The sound of the ocean crashing against sandy beaches, sand dunes covered in tufts of dancing green grass…

…And then there is the young woman hanging from a tree. It isn’t a gentle island any more.

SGT. REID
Husband, father, RCMP member.  He had to leave the West coast and PEI was the farthest he could get.  He has bad memories of a killer there and how it was handled, how he handled it.  He wanted to get away from murder.

PEI (Prince Edward Island)
“The Gentle Island.”  There hadn’t been a homicide on the island since the eighties.  Sure there was crime, but it was quiet.  Nobody ever got killed.

BEN COOPER
Just your average guy, Island born and bred.  So why does he have a need to kill?   What made him the monster he was to become?
