Plot

A vicious murder of a gold refiner leads detectives to an escort service secretly run by the brother-in-law of the victim. Although it is clearly evident who committed the murder, a credible witness is needed to further the prosecution's case. That witness has a lot of power and influence and forces Jack McCoy to make many tough decisions.
