John Lucker, a psychotic man who killed and raped the bodies of eight women, falls into a coma after trying to slit his own throat while being moved from one mental institution to another. Lucker is placed in a private clinic where he awakens, murders an orderly and takes the man's clothes. Lucker exits the clinic and hijacks the orderly's car after killing the man's girlfriend and having sex with her body.
The next morning, Lucker listens to a radio broadcast discussing his escape, and Cathy Jordan, a survivor of Lucker three years ago. Lucker abandons his stolen car and walks into town while having flashbacks to his time with Cathy, which excite him to the point of prompting him to disembowel a female jogger in a parking garage.
Using a public phonebook and map, Lucker pinpoints Cathy's current address, which he gains entry to by soliciting a prostitute who lives there. Once in the building, Lucker shackles the hooker to her bed, stabs her in the throat and takes up residence in her apartment, which he spies on Cathy from.
A month later, Lucker has sex with her severely decomposed corpse, cuts it up, places the pieces in garbage bags and goes to throw them out. On the way out, Lucker runs into Cathy's boyfriend whom he strangles and bludgeons while two women, Carolyn and Sharon, enter the building to visit the prostitute. After disposing of Carolyn and capturing Sharon, Lucker goes to Cathy's apartment and captures her as well.
While Lucker rants and thrashes about, he guts Sharon in front of Cathy, who escapes her binds and stabs Lucker in the back with his own knife. The wounded Lucker pursues Cathy throughout the building and is seemingly killed when Cathy pushes him down an elevator shaft. However, as the credits roll, a fully recovered Lucker is shown leaving the building.
