A petty thief steals money from the donation box at a local church. Upon investigating, Fraser and Ray learn two things: the thief is a shoemaker who was forced out of business by a local Mafia boss's protection racket, and the Mafia boss, Frank Zuko, is a member of the congregation (and an acquaintance of Ray's since childhood) has taken it as a personal offense that his church was robbed, ordering a hit on [[EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep The Shoemaker.]] Fraser and Ray must find a way to protect The Shoemaker from Zuko's men, while Ray deals with [[OldShame his failure to protect a classmate from Zukoo when they were younger.]]
