When a billionaire banker is found murdered, Detectives Shaw and Riley of the 27th Precinct are tasked with untangling his complicated professional and personal life. The victim’s immense wealth and power gives them a long list of potential suspects, from disgruntled employees to powerful clients with secrets to protect.
Once a suspect is identified, the case moves to the courtroom, where ADAs Price and Maroun face a different kind of challenge. The victim’s own questionable ethics and dark side become a central focus for the defense, forcing the prosecution to fight to keep the jury focused on the act of murder itself. Can they secure a conviction when the person they are fighting for is painted as a monster?
Law & Order airs Thursday October 16, at 8/7c on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.
