Detectives bank on arresting female executive for murder of amorous associate -- After a young African-American banking associate is found murdered, Detectives Fontana (Dennis Farina) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) discover that he had hundreds of thousands of dollars in his checking account. The detectives suspect the victim was having an affair with his high-powered boss Sophia (guest star Lisa Zane) who killed him out of fear and rage. As the police and A.D.A. Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) build their case, everything hinges on using either the executive's estranged husband or their shaky teenaged daughter Katie (guest star Sarah Steele) as their star witness. Annie Parisse, S. Epatha Merkerson and Fred Dalton Thompson also star.

The Puerto Rican Day parade turns violent, as wilding incidents abound. The police are already stretched to the limit, and focus their investigation on several men they have apprehended -Jorge Garcia (Manuel Terron), Jimmy Diaz (Nicholas Sean Gomez), Nestor Salazar (Victor Anthony) and Kiki Morales (Jose Edwin Solo). Their stories implicate them in lesser crimes but the police have a hard time pinning the murder of the woman, Susan Capp, on any of them.
