An Iranian man is burned to death. The prime suspects include Horatio's son Kyle's army buddy Brian, who is on military furlough, as well as Brian's girlfriend, who was the victim's daughter.
Visiting father Horatio before being reassigned with his Iraq-veteran mates to Eastern Afghanistan, Kyle worries about one of them who is missing - Brian Nassir. In his car workshop, they find a fatally burned body. But it turns out to be Rahim Farooq, the Iranian father of Brian's girlfriend, whom Rahim promised in marriage to Ahmad Salib.—KGF Vissers
