Detective Mark Hoffman is deemed a hero after he saves a young girl and “escapes” one of Jigsaw’s games, or so it seems. Special Agent Peter Strahm is suspicious of him after his assistant Agent Lindsay Perez says Hoffman’s name. While Agent Strahm looks into Detective Hoffman’s past, a group of five people who helped burn a building which was supposedly abandoned, face a series of tests set up by Jigsaw.

Hoffman is the man to carry on Jigsaws legacy. He’s commended as a hero but the FBI agent Strahm suspects him to be the new apprentice and does everything he can to prove that he’s right. At the same time five people are being tested of Jigsaw and has to face five tests and in the end only one can be the last person standing.
