Summary

Forensic scientist Henry Muller (Dylan Baker) packs the apartment of his recently deceased mother on the Lower East Side. Through the window, he watches Grace Purefoy, a young girl from the neighborhood, on her way uptown to sell drugs for dealer Justin. Later that night, Grace tells Justin she’s done selling drugs. Justin threatens to kill her, and Grace runs for it. As if on cue, Henry opens his door and Grace slips inside. Grace trusts Henry, whom she has known since she was a small child. She takes a hot shower and, by way of thanks, kisses Henry. The innocent kiss unleashes years of repressed desire in Henry; and when Grace names Henry for what he is a pervert he kills her in a fit of rage.

Detective Nichols must work with Detective Eames to track down a killer who is surprisingly adept and too close for comfort while his partner Detective Wheeler is giving birth. Nichols has to solve the case somehow without losing his job.
