A four-part true crime docu-series, The Night Caller depicts and explores a killer's harrowing legacy – of tragedy, grief, responsibility and redemption – as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Thomas Meadmore, returning to his childhood home and spending time with those closest to the killer and his victims, whose lives he altered irrevocably.
