After Stephen Atcheson was fired from UCLA's Young Research Library, no one expected that he'd resurface - literally - floating in the Stone Canyon Reservoir with a bullet hole in the back of his head. It falls on the LAPD to solve the case, and it falls on Kevin Brodie and Jamilah Daly to deal with Stephen's mom and sister. Mom is grieving. Sister, not so much. Kevin has to set aside his dislike of Stephen to comfort Mom while Jamilah tries to figure out why Sister is so squirrely. Where is Stephen's alleged girlfriend? Was his script really in production? Will PayPal respond to a search warrant? And will the new cost-cutting District Attorney end Kevin and Jamilah's partnership?
