Synopsis

Follows the cases of renowned Miami-Dade Police forensic artist Samantha Steinberg, whose life-like composite drawings of criminals based on victims' descriptions have led to over 100 arrests. Using unprecedented access, the filmmakers go behind-the-scenes of the Miami Police Department's largest serial rape case. From the detailed process by which Steinberg creates the sketches, to the sexual battery detectives knocking on doors and following up leads, to the hi-tech forensic analysis, the documentary reveals those extraordinary moments in the investigation when a clue is uncovered, a theory is realized, and a match is made.
