Documentary director and investigative journalist John Mork receives a mysterious sheet of music to a song titled “Under the Radar.” The unreleased song was written by infamous Swedish serial killer Peter Mangs while serving a life sentence behind bars and passed along by his prison psychologist. As stated by Mangs, the song confesses to a double homicide in Florida: “If you can solve the codes, you can understand how the murders went down and where the bodies are buried.” 



In 2009-2010, Mangs targeted immigrants and through a string of attacks terrorized the Swedish city of Malmö. He is currently serving a life sentence for two murders and eight attempted murders in Sweden. However, there continue to be strong suspicions about his involvement in far more crimes. In this haunting, three-part documentary, Mork enlists musicians, investigators, graphologists, and more, to help him solve the cryptic song and to thoroughly investigate any unsolved murders during Mangs’ time in Florida.
