[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In another case ripped from the headlines (see Lyle and Erik Menendez), a wealthy couple's teenaged sons are the prime suspects in their murders. The detectives soon learn that the boys were victims of abuse by their father. Prosecutors are convinced the brothers are solely to blame, but Detectives Greevey and Logan continue their investigation over the D.A.'s objections.
