In the premiere episode, D'Angelo is confronted with the murder of an unknown woman, and also with the disappearing wife of an old friend. The friend, played by George Dzundza, had been a colleague of D'Angelo's on the New York force.

Three rather ordinary men are mysteriously killed, but in a very professional way. This is the clue that sends D"Angelo (Paul Sorvino) on the hunt for a hit man with some kind of connection with a high authority seeking to eliminate former government informants.
