A prison executioner loses his vocation when the state abolishes the death penalty. Unable to transition to civilian life, he begins hunting acquitted criminals to administer his own brand of high voltage street justice in the shadows. After killing her husband on Christmas eve, an adulterous woman is attacked by an escaped ax-wielding maniac in a Santa suit looking for someone naughty or nice. Carnival star Ulric the Undying, buried alive, recalls his nine-lives transplant—and suddenly fears he's lost count.
