With
his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the puppet-master behind the
cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled
police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city
detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh)
is unaware that she is about to become the latest pawn on his vicious
chessboard.
One night, after finishing a shift at her hospital,
Lynn is kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse where she meets
Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), bedridden and on the verge of death. She is told
that she must keep the madman alive for as long as it takes Jeff (Angus
Macfadyen), another of his victims, to complete a game of his own.
Racing against the ticking clock of Jigsaw's own heartbeat, Lynn and
Jeff struggle to make it through each of their vicious tests, unaware
that he has a much bigger plan for both of them...
