Storyline

Detectives Briscoe and Logan investigate the murder of David and Eileen Lerner who were were found stabbed to death at home in their bed. The killer entered the house through a window and even used a knife from the kitchen to commit the crime. The Lerner's had lived there for only a year and the police can find no one who disliked or had a grudge against them. When they learn that the house previously belonged to a high profile divorce attorney, Warren Bartlett, they believe a revenge-seeker may have entered to kill him not knowing he had moved. By chance, it seems that the Bartlett's stepson, Steven Smith had a car accident just two blocks from his old home. Smith is an alcoholic and has a substance abuse problem and it will be up to ADA McCoy to convince a jury that he entered the wrong house intent on killing his abusive stepmother.
