From ripped-from-the-headlines cases to personal entanglements, Law & Order returns with an episode that hits close to home for one detective. The death of an actor undergoing experimental drug therapy leads Cosgrove and Shaw down a complicated path.

This isn’t just another case for Shaw. A rekindled connection with a former mentor puts him in a tricky spot. His mentor may hold the key to identifying a suspect, but will Shaw be able to navigate the ethical tightrope of balancing his loyalty with his duty to the investigation?
