Detective Mark Hoffman realizes he is Jigsaw’s secret protégé, continuing his legacy.

Meanwhile, SWAT commander Daniel Rigg is drawn into one of Jigsaw’s final games. Rigg must race against time to rescue Detective Eric Mathews and Agent Kerry, individuals previously connected to Jigsaw’s cases. However, to complete this game, Rigg must break his own moral code and make brutal choices that cost lives.
