 Frank Dicenzio runs a small deli, until he is killed in 2001. Frank s employee, the immigrant Ricardo, is convicted and imprisoned. Ricardo s brother Paulo, however, asks Rush and Valens to reopen the case and prove Ricardo s innocence. The team finds suspects including  Stump  Fanelli, the hoodlum friend of Frank s only son, Tommy; the unsavory Felix Darosa, who "helps" immigrants at high rates; and Ricardo himself. Meanwhile, Kat Miller joins the team, and Nick Vera s time spent caring for an abandoned baby seems to be not so onerous as he claims.
