DescriptionEdit

The 2004 case of a teenager who died while serving time in a juvenile detention boot camp is reopened after new evidence suggests his death wasn't an accident. Scotty had intended to serve as a character witness at the boy's hearing but arrived too late, something he always regretted. Stillman is ordered by his new boss, Deputy Commissioner Pat Doherty, to drop the case and must pay a price when he doesn't. Meanwhile Lilly enlists help from her old flame Eddie Saccardo in her feud with Moe Kitchener.
