The documentary seeks to answer the question that has followed accounts of these maimings around since they were first told: were the injuries and deaths on purpose, or was it simply the result of a failing system that allowed Duntsch to continue to operate?

"Christopher Duntsch turned his best friend into a quadriplegic," another man says in the trailer.
