A prominent banker is found dead in his Park Avenue penthouse, and the investigation spirals into Manhattan's elite circles where secrets run deeper than money. Law & Order follows detectives as they uncover a web of affairs, embezzlement, and revenge, each suspect harboring a motive. When the DA's office takes over, they discover the real crime may not be murder at all. In the end, justice becomes a question of what you can prove, not what you know to be true.
