However, when Schroeder's experiments take a turn for the worse, a strange transformation takes place within Creed, leading him on a violent and murderous rampage across the city.

Meanwhile, the police have been hot on Creed's trail since his escape, and detective Donahue takes it upon himself to track down the elusive criminal.
