Tubbs and Crockett are guests at a wedding, and so are Miami's district attorney Richard Langley and his close friend Laurence Thurmond, an ex-judge turned mob lawyer. Crockett holds a special grudge against Thurmond for releasing on a technicality a cop killer who murdered Crockett's rookie partner during a sting operation years ago. Suddenly, a man disguised as caterer assassinates Langley in front of the wedding guests and escapes. The logical suspect in the hit is Thurmond's top client that Langley was investigating, a French-Canadian druglord called Jean Faber who's moved his operation to Miami and bought a stable of thoroughbred horses there to boot. Sonny visits Thurmond at his ex-wife Alecia's art gallery and pressures him hoping that Thurmond's conscious might finally kick in after witnessing such coldblooded and brazen murder of his close friend and push him into helping the police bring Faber to justice. While checking up on his car at his female auto mechanic buddy Tommy's auto repair shop, Sonny receives anonymous phone call that marks Philippe Sagot, a psychotic arrested after a bar fight with one of Faber's more squeamish men called Marcel, as Faber's rogue hitman responsible for the assassination. But can they find enough evidence against him before he leaves the country?
