When reporter Daisy Channing arrives to meet a source with “something big” to tell her, gunfire erupts, wounding her source and killing his friend. A parallel investigation into the murder begins, one spearheaded by homicide Detective Kevin Lutz and the other led by Daisy. As they dig deeper, it becomes clear that several well-connected people know much more than they’re saying.

Daisy and Simon learn some shocking information about Orlandio Spence and Judge Reeves, while Lutz is forced to work with the Guns and Gangs unit. Daisy spirals downwards after witnessing a second murder that is also connected to Hassan. Feeling alone and discarded, her drinking reveals the real source of her fears.

Daisy and Simon track down more details about the photo of Orlandio and Judge Reeves, and their investigation leads to an even more shocking discovery. Khaallif is arrested during a Guns and Gangs raid and Hassan goes on the run.

Daisy and Lutz rekindle their relationship, while Simon uncovers some information linking Lawson to a mafia family. Hassan returns to the city in order to sell the video on Khaalid’s phone to the highest bidder.

The injunction against printing her story pushes a furious Daisy to make some bad decisions. New evidence confirms Daisy’s and Lutz suspicions, and they work together to reveal the truth about the murders.
