70'ernes Amerika. Vi følger den højt intelligente Jack over en periode på 12 år - og introduceres for de mord, som er definerende for Jack's udvikling som seriemorder. Vi oplever historien gennem Jack, mens han postulerer, at hvert mord han begår er et kunstværk i sig selv. Selvom politiet langsomt nærmer sig, løber Jack større og større risici i jagten på skabelsen af det ultimative kunstværk. Undervejs hører vi Jack's tankestrømme og beskrivelser af sin personlige tilstand gennem en samtale med den ukendte og mystiske Verge. En surrealistisk kombination af nærmest barnlig selvmedlidenhed og psykopatiske forklaringer, blandet med filosofiske - men også humoristiske - betragtninger og handlinger.
