Jill Rips

In 1977 Boston, Matt Sorenson, a former police officer who moved across country, returns for the funeral of his high-powered younger brother Michael. His body is found washed ashore, tied up in a manner suggesting bondage play, with a brutal series of cuts and stabs, some made after death. Intent on finding his brother's killer, Sorenson initially believes a major construction magnate, "Big Jim" Conway, whom Michael opposed on a subway project, is responsible. He also finds himself drawn to Michael's widow, Irene, who was married to him for six months. After other men are found murdered in a similar fashion, and that they had been photographed with a masked sex worker, the investigation focuses on her, the media branding her "Jill the Ripper". Matt reluctantly immerses himself in the underground bondage and discipline scene, and discovers what has linked his brother's murder, Conway, and Irene together. ==Cast==
