The story

When NYPD Detective Eddie Santos surprises drug dealer Tino Zapatti on a Brooklyn street corner, Tino opens fire; the two men gun each other down, and a stray bullet from Zapatti kills a 6-year-old boy.

The deputy mayor clashes with Frank Anselmo, a Brooklyn political boss connected to Paul Zapatti.

At Zapatti's behest, Anselmo plants money to incriminate Santos, and Calhoun and Cogan become reluctant allies in their search for the truth.
