Spiral

When a cop is killed on a subway line under suspicious circumstances, Capt. Angie Garza (Nichols) immediately assigns veteran Det. Ezekiel Banks (Rock) and fresh-faced Det. William Schenk (Minghella) to the case. As they put together their evidence, Banks struggles to ignore the murder scene's eerie similarities to those investigated during the Jigsaw Killer’s reign of terror. Unconvincing at first, given Jigsaw’s confirmed death years earlier, his hunch comes to ground itself in reality when a blue box arrives at the station. Containing the bloody skin of another murdered cop and a USB marked "Play Me," Banks and Schenk begin to chase what seems more and more with every new mutilated body delivered to be a copycat killer. Unshaken at first, Banks' grit begins to crumble when this ghost story threatens to lead him to his estranged father, Marcus (Jackson), and his fellow brothers in blue.

Realizing how long and expensive the venture will be, Jan rounds up a bunch of her neighbors to pitch in money to collectively buy and raise a promising purebred they name "Dream Alliance."
