Synopsis: The capture of a vicious serial killer known as "the Sexecutioner" in upstate New York has captured national attention. The murderer, a highly intelligent man in his mid-thirties named Martin Michael Plunkett, does not deny that he committed the crimes he has been accused of. But he insists on telling his story - making his confession - in his own way, in his own words. To that end, he has enlisted the services of a huge New York literary agency, and also been given access to police files in the hopes that his confession may provide insight into the mind of the serial killer. Sitting alone in his tiny prison cell, Martin Plunkett leans over his typewriter and begins his story. A story that takes us from LA to New York, from the 50's to the 80's, from teenage ‘experimentation' to a double-figure body count. And on the way, he attracts a dangerous and powerful admirer... Killer on the Road is based on the riveting masterpiece of terror by legendary L.A. crime novelist James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia, American Tabloid, White Jazz). A unique story of one fiendishly brilliant murderer who meets his match in the place he'd least expect, Killer on the Road redefines the serial killer genre with a vengeance.
