Despite being confined to his bed, Rhyme is an expert in forensic science and is consulted by the police department to help solve a case involving a serial killer who leaves behind bone fragments as a clue.

Angelina Jolie plays Amelia Donaghy, a young patrol officer who stumbles upon a victim of the killer and becomes involved in the investigation. With Rhyme's guidance, she gradually earns his trust, and together they take on the task of finding the murderer, who has already claimed several victims.
