No city wishes to be known as the serial-killer capital of the world, but it is a label that Rostov-on-Don in Russia has had to live with. This profoundly disturbing film looks at the work of Rostov psychiatrist Dr Alexander Bukhanovsky, who believes he can identify fledgling serial killers and work with them to prevent them progressing to murder.

Bukhanovsky, through his profiling of serial killers, has produced a blueprint for the type of personality that could go on to take many lives. At his clinic, he counsels 12 such young men, and we get to witness these chilling encounters. Edward, 17, describes taking the decision to dig up fresh graves to satisfy his desire for necrophilia. Misha, 22, who has already viciously attacked one woman and raped another two, thinks that all gypsies should be shot, children first. Bukhanovsky has made a promise to his clients that he won't report their previous crimes, a decision that makes him a controversial figure with the Russian authorities.
