During the robbery of a bank machine, a balaclava wearing man - Thomas Stark - running away from the scene, is shot dead with an illegal gun wielded by security guard, Shane Vickerly. Stark's unknown accomplice escapes. Vickerly and his two partners learn Stark was unarmed. Lee, Leary and Shannon are the investigating detectives and beyond an initial intuition that the robbery was an inside job, they decide to take a divide and conquer approach with the guards. The investigators learn that Stark was shot twice by two different guns, and that he was in a gay relationship with a fellow by the name of Fred Beamish, who denies any knowledge or involvement. Meanwhile, a high speed police chase at about the same time leads to two fatalities - the driver being pursued and an innocent pedestrian bystander - and Police Constable Ridley, previously with a clean record, in hospital with serious injuries. In addition to Da Vinci, McNab and Kosmo are the investigating team, the latter to ensure that Ridley followed proper police procedure in the chase. Even before the investigation begins, some believe Ridley did something wrong in his procedure. Ridley is of no assistance as after he regains consciousness, he remembers nothing about the chase. Back with the robbery investigation, the authorities eventually find Stark's accomplice's dead body in what was probably the getaway vehicle. The vehicle more so than the dead body uncovers the missing piece in the investigation, not only with this crime but also the high speed chase. And Sergeant Sheila Kurtz takes over the reigns of the Homicide Division following the suicide of Staff Sergeant Regan. The transition is not a totally smooth one.
