Three women share glimpses of their affection, attraction and relationship with Richard Ramirez, a serial killer and rapist they contacted after he was convicted in the 1980s. Through their perspectives, exchanged letters and emotions are revisited. They are as obsessive as they are hauntingly familiar.
