After finding a teen runaway hanged, Tony investigates a cult-like youth shelter ruled by charismatic Steve Ennis who has the press and the mayor on his side.

Steve threatens major litigation against the city unless Tony drops the investigation, but Tony presses forward and continues uncovering critical clues.

Having resigned as commissioner to join Rachel in Buffalo but learning she left her job, too, the Scalis return to Eastbridge to find Tony's successor in place.
