After FBI agent Frank Lacrosse believes his son was kidnapped by a notorious serial killer, he travels to Amarillo, Texas, where he believes the murderer is in hiding. Although officially taken off the case because of its personal significance to him, Frank continues to pursue the killer, causing concern for local sheriff Buck Olmstead. When another victim pops up at a nearby car garage, Frank knows that he is as close as he'll ever be to tracking down the elusive killer.
Editor's Verdict
"Switchback is a dedicated serial killer thriller. There is no indication that the story occurs during the Christmas season, and the plot revolves entirely around the FBI investigation, with no connection to Christmas themes or iconography. The presence of 'Belief/Faith' is a thematic element common in many genres, not specifically tied to the Christmas holiday context in this plot summary."
