The series focuses on the character of John Kramer (Tobin Bell), the "Jigsaw Killer", who seeks out those he considers to be wasting their lives and subjects them to torturous and lethal traps, referred to as "tests" and "games", in an attempt to make them appreciate living. The series comprises of eight films: Saw (2004), Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008), Saw VI (2009), Saw 3D (2010), and Saw: Legacy (2017).

Adam was a freelance photographer hired by the discharged detective David Tapp to follow Dr. Lawrence Gordon, the man he suspected of being the Jigsaw Killer. Adam was kidnapped by Jigsaw's apprentice Amanda Young and placed in a game alongside Gordon, which took place in a large dilapidated bathroom. Each of them were chained to pipes on opposite sides of the room and given specific instructions on what they needed to do in order to survive. Gordon had to kill Adam by six o'clock, while Adam simply had to escape. After failing to complete their respective tasks by the deadline they were confronted by Zep Hindle, an orderly from Gordon's hospital. Adam beats Zep to death with a toilet tank lid, believing he is responsible for their abduction, and Lawrence crawls away to get help, having sawed off his foot. While searching Zep's body for a key Adam finds a tape recorder which reveals that Zep was only following instructions in order to obtain an antidote for a poison in his blood stream. As the tape ends the real Jigsaw reveals himself, and seals the bathroom door, leaving Adam to die.
