As the investigation begins to unfold, Jake and his new partner, Randy Applebee, are uncovering missing evidence, corruption, and cover-ups involving the District Attorney, the Bishop, and a Middleborough Police Officer. While they fear the case involves a conspiracy, the detectives are puzzled by several potential murder suspects including: a catholic priest and two sociopath schoolmates of the victim.
