Ed Zigo, een toegewijde politieagent en detective, wordt gevraagd om mee te helpen bij het onderzoek naar de seriemoordenaar 'Son of Sam'. Alhoewel Zigo weet dat er dan waarschijnlijk promotie voor hem in zit, slaat hij het aanbod af, omdat hij dicht in de buurt van zijn zieke vrouw Ann wil blijven. Na een hartoperatie sterft Ann echter en Ed stort in. Door toeval komt hij oog in oog te staan met 'Son of Sam'.
Nee, helaas is Out of the Darkness nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
