There is only one truly innocent person in this Law And Order story, young Zachary Kady, son of Deborah Hedwall and grandson of Val Avery, a kid who dying and keeping him alive is costing big bucks. When his father who skipped out years ago he stopped any financial obligation toward his former family. It makes Avery and Hedwall mad enough to kill and they do.
This whole business makes both the police and DA's office look for alternative suspects. The deceased was a liar and a conman and there are any number of people who would like to have seen him dead. He has a girl friend in Miami Beach who is played by Deborah Props whom he has conned ruthlessly. Of course she's just one of those gullible people who have victim written all over them. As Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt discover, she's believing her late boyfriend was undercover in the FBI and CIA, both of them. Props is outstanding in her one scene.
There's also a couple of leg breakers looking for him as well over one of his schemes. No one wants it to be Hedwall and Avery as perpetrators.
In the end Sam Waterston gives an act of mercy of sorts with young Kady in mind.
Avery and Hedwall aren't quite as noble as they first appear, but you still feel sorry for them.
