A short synopsis for The Riverman here:

"With ten unsolved murders weighing on his mind, Keppel (Bruce Greenwood) recruits imprisoned serial killer Ted Bundy (Cary Elwes) to help find the killer-at-large. Ted Bundy was essential in the capture of the Green River Killer (Ridgeway). Sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole in 2003, Ridgeway was convicted of 48 murders, but confessed to 71 … and authorities suspect it was actually more than 90.

Based on real-life events recounted in the best-selling book The Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green River Killer (co-written by Robert Keppel, former chief criminal investigator for the attorney general of Washington state), The Riverman recounts Keppel’s efforts to track down mass murderer Gary Ridgeway, aka the Green River Killer (Dreadcentral)."

Release Date: January 12th, 2009.
