Gacy was convicted of killing 33 young men and boys and burying in the crawl space under his Chicago home. But this docuseries explores whether there might be more victims from his horrific killings in the 1970s. The story is told in part by Gacy himself, during a multi-hour long prison interview. Only a few minutes of that interview has ever been seen before.

It also features exclusive audio and video interviews, including with one of his closest confidantes and his second ex-wife.
