Frank Dicenzio runs a small deli, until he is killed in 2001. Frank's employee, the immigrant Ricardo, is convicted and imprisoned. Ricardo's brother Paulo, however, asks Rush and Valens to reopen the case and prove Ricardo's innocence. The team finds suspects including 'Stump' Fanelli, the hoodlum friend of Frank's only son, Tommy; the unsavory Felix Darosa, who "helps" immigrants at high rates; and Ricardo himself. Meanwhile, Kat Miller joins the team, and Nick Vera's time spent caring for an abandoned baby seems to be not so onerous as he claims.
