Fifty-five-year-old Dr. Harold "Fred" Shipman has a noble dedication to his profession, winning the trust of his patients with ingratiating charm and an old-school bedside manner.

The search for answers would take investigators into the life of a man who forever changed the stereotype of the sweet country doctor...
