Special Agent Rod Franklin is an agent assigned to the case of three murdered people found on the grounds of a federal "body farm" in New England. Since they weren't with the cadavers who were being examined to forensically study decomposition, he was called in. When all the people were tied to past cases handed by Olivia Benson, the case was transferred to Manhattan Special Victims Unit.

Franklin was assigned to coordinate his efforts with the squad's for demands of reports by his superiors at the FBI. The cases was revealed to have no federal relation, and when Benson was revealed to be both the common link and the target of the killer from the bread crumbs left behind, it became apparent the three murdered people were left at the body farm just to leave a trail as a dare, to get the police started on catching him while he, wrongfully convicted suspect Eric Plummer, targeted Benson directly out of revenge.
