My name is Simon. I’m 10 years old. I’m a serial killer. Robert Stern (Rupert Penry-Jones), a successful defense attorney, doesn’t know what lies in store for him when he agrees to meet a new client in a derelict estate on the outskirts of Berlin. Stern is more than surprised, when his old love interest and professional nurse Carina (Emilia Fox) presents him a ten year old boy as his new client. Simon (Jack Boulter), a terminally ill child, who is convinced he has murdered many men in a previous life.
Robert’s surprise turns into horror when he and Carina find human remains in a cellar the boy has led them to. The remains of a man whose head has been split with an axe 15 years ago - just like Simon claimed he had. Things go from bad to worse within hours when Stern discovers more dead bodies, the investigating police officer Engler (Andy Serkis) starts to chase him as a suspect in the murder cases, and his own past comes to haunt him. Stern’s friend and former criminal Andi Borchert (Stephen Marcus) is the only one to believe Stern and Carina. Hunted by the police, and led by Simon’s memories, they start to investigate shady sub cultures of Berlin, and soon discover things that more gruesome than anything they could have imagined…

The easiest way to get over someone is to never see them again, right? So when my ex stomps on my heart and throws it into the sewer...I decide to spend my summer on the opposite side of the country as him.And this summer is all about me. Mending my broken heart (screw all men). Figuring out what I want to do with my life (a life that thankfully does not include my ex). And trying to better myself (does eating ice cream count?).But all my perfect planning comes to a halt when the sexiest lifeguard in existence asks me out. I have to say no. It doesn't matter that he's built like a Greek God, has eyes the color of the ocean, or is hotter than a summer night. I'm going to say no, I swear. He's going straight into the friend zone. Although, I'm pretty sure he'd be more delicious than any flavor of ice cream. Can't I put him in the friend zone after just one taste? Views: 474
