Pepper searches for a connection between the deaths of a mechanic, a bookkeeper and a college professor, who were all killed by the same gun, in the same gangland style. She goes undercover to find a leak in a government office.

Crowley and Pepper are called in when word gets around that "The Company", formerly operated by Vito Angelo, is starting up again. Angelo has spent the last 15 years in prison and is soon to be released. Meanwhile, three hoods have been murdered and others terrorised.
