Though the death initially appears to be a suicide, Cody suspects foul play. Despite his strained relationship with his department, Cody pursues the investigation.

As he hunts the killer, Cody realizes the murderer is aware of his movements, turning the pursuit into a dangerous game where his son's safety hangs in the balance.
