Stan Aubrey (Dafoe) is a retired detective who previously solved the Uncle Eddie murders, a series of murders involving victims being arranged in artistic positions with "Dead" written by their bodies. Aubrey tracked down the suspect and shot him, mistaking a held remote for a gun. Five years later, a similar set of artistic murders are committed and Aubrey is brought back in to determine if it's a copycat killer.This movie exhibits the following tropes:

Calling Card: In the Uncle Eddie murders, every victim is labeled "Dead". The copycat murders lack this element until the penultimate death.

Defective Detective: Aubrey maintains a practical sterile home, precisely organized, every piece of furniture in the place he wants it. He also resists allowing anyone in his life except for Sandy, who was the roommate of the last victim of the Uncle Eddie murders.

Criminal Mind Games: Uncle Eddie has been revealing clues to the next murder in each scene. He's also been including tools and techniques from early Renaissance perspective studies to hint Aubrey toward recognizing the anamorphs.

Contrived Coincidence: Detective Carl happens to have the exact size of coffee mug to produce the sequential anamorphs in the scenes and places the mug at just the right points to reveal them in time to realize where Aubrey is being lured to.
