New York student Nasir Khan (Riz Ahmed) experiences a night that will change his life irrevocably.

When Naz's parents arrive at the station, Detective Box finds a way to use them to his advantage.

Naz is transferred to Rikers Island, where he is acquainted with prison kingpin Freddy (Michael Kenneth Williams) who presents him with an offer.

Stone witnesses some suspicious behaviour at Andrea's funeral, while Alison attempts to persuade Naz to take a plea deal.

As the trial goes ahead, Chandra takes the helm for the defence, while Box retraces Naz's steps on the night of the crime. Stone confronts a witness.

Chandra has a disturbing encounter with a potential witness and some unexpected information from Naz's past is presented in court.
