Lieutenant Joe Novelli's been shot. The only clue his team has is the name of a woman named Shirley. But who is Shirley? With no prints on the stolen car that was used in the drive by shooting and no weapon, things are looking bleak in solving the case. Luckily for them a news team was on the scene when the shooting occurred. But when an apartment fire results in the death of two people, and that same news team is there to record the breaking news as the fire truck arrives there may be more to it than luck.
