Like the fictional lead character in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Gacy somehow managed to live a secret life between the extremes of good and evil. By day, he was a model citizen, but by night he would become overwhelmed by his sexual attraction to teenage boys, coupled with a seething rage. Abducting young men off the streets of Chicago and driving them back to his suburban home, he would bind his victims with handcuffs and gag them with their own underwear. Then the sexual torture began, ending in their murder by strangulation. He buried the bodies in the crawl space beneath his home. When an investigation into a missing youth led police to Gacy's front door and down into the crawl space, his double life was exposed to the world. Gacy was convicted of murdering thirty-three boys and young men. Rare archive materials, never before seen, help paint a portrait of this serial killer from cradle to grave. Through exclusive interviews, Gacy's friends and family examine the life of the man who became a monster, while they struggle to answer the question on everyone's mind' Why?
