88 Minutes

In the rain‑slick streets of Seattle, Dr. Jack Gramm lives a life defined by cold logic and courtroom testimony. A renowned forensic psychiatrist, he built his reputation by dissecting the minds of killers, turning their darkest motives into admissible evidence. Yet his methodical world is shattered when an anonymous, modulated voice warns him that he has exactly 88 minutes left to live. The threat is precise and chilling: a bomb has been set, and someone is holding him personally responsible for a case he thought was buried forever.

Now a professor at the University of Washington, Gramm balances lectures, research, and the lingering weight of the “Seattle Slayer” trial that made his career. The campus, normally a place of scholarly discourse, takes on a foreboding edge as every corridor could harbor a hidden danger. His trusted secretary, Shelly, and his diligent teaching assistant, Kim Cummings, become his immediate points of contact, each offering their own perspective on the growing menace. The academic environment, with its mix of bright minds and lingering shadows of past patients, becomes a pressure cooker where suspicion can flare as quickly as a lab fire.

The film’s tone is a relentless, pulse‑pounding thriller that blends the sterile chill of forensic science with the raw, ticking anxiety of a countdown. Every phone ring, every whispered rumor in lecture halls, and every flicker of a hallway light amplifies the sense that time itself is a hostile adversary. Gramm must navigate a maze of former students, institutional bureaucracy, and his own haunted memories, all while trying to stay one step ahead of a mystery enemy who seems to know his every weakness.

As the clock ticks down, the audience is drawn into a world where expertise clashes with terror, and the line between professional detachment and personal survival blurs. The looming threat forces Gramm to confront not only the external danger but also the moral reckonings of his past, setting the stage for a high‑stakes race against time that hangs on every breath and every unanswered call.
