Goren and Eames investigate a series of fires set in Brooklyn churches. The only connection between the churches is the use of a commercial cleaning service. Further investigation reveals that the arsonist was only interested in one of the churches, the other fires were a cover-up. Goren and Eames look to the new youth minister at the church and end up uncovering more than they expected.
