This documentary details the 2008 murder of 22-year-old Tim McLean, a Canadian carnival worker, who was stabbed, beheaded, and partially cannibalized by passenger Vincent Li on a Greyhound bus en route from Edmonton to Winnipeg. It covers the attack's abrupt start while McLean slept, passengers' unsuccessful intervention, and Li's escape with the victim's head, leading to his arrest. The film examines Li's schizophrenia diagnosis, his 2009 not criminally responsible verdict, treatment at Selkirk Mental Health Centre, and 2021 conditional discharge for supervised community living. Featuring survivor accounts, family statements, and psychiatric insights, it explores the incident's trauma, public reaction to mental illness, and debates on accountability and rehabilitation.
