When a runaway girl is found dead underneath a freeway overpass, Detectives Charlie Crews and Danni Reese are struck by the death scene. The girl is discovered sitting upright, clutching a guitar with her throat slit. Crews and Reese are able to figure out the girl used to play her guitar outside a grocery store nearby. After interviewing one of the grocery store employees along with his son, they become highly suspicious of their behavior. Just when they think they are close to capturing the killer, they realize they've stumbled upon another significant crime -- a kidnapping from 12 years earlier. Meanwhile, Crews decides to take action towards the murder investigation mounting against him.

Charlie Crews and Dani Reese arrive on the scene shortly after a wife has shot and killed her husband. A search of their apartment reveals an ample amount of illegal narcotics but no murder weapon. Amidst the search, Crews asks Reese to cover for him saying he has something he needs to deal with. Before Reese can answer, Crews' former partner, Bobby Stark, chimes in to say of course they will cover for him. Crew is then off to track the man he thinks is responsible for the murders he was imprisoned for. What he ends up uncovering is something much bigger than anything he could have imagined. Part 2 of 2.
