Two teenage girls are found dead in an abandoned building. They are identified as Jane Kendrick and Annika Ohlman; Annika was an exchange student staying with Jane's family. Their deaths are linked to a string of unsolved rapes and a suspect named Peter Williams. Jane's sister Laura, who had been caring for the girls, is feared to be another victim of Williams. She is found severely beaten in a hospital and says Williams was responsible. He denies harming Laura, who is in fact his girlfriend. Forensic evidence places Laura being present when Jane died, making her a key witness.

With Williams about to walk free on bail, [=McCoy=] is forced to agree a plea deal giving Laura the minimum sentence if found guilty. She gives a statement that Williams forced her to drug the girls and watch as he raped Jane. Jane then asphyxiated, and Williams hid her body. Photos found in Williams' home show Laura herself sexually assaulting Jane and Annika along with two unidentified victims. Despite inconsistencies in Laura's story, [=McCoy=] cannot prove she is lying, and there seems to be no way out of the plea deal.

In court, Williams testifies that Laura was the one who wanted to have sex with the girls; Jane died accidentally, and Laura killed Annika to keep her quiet. Nevertheless, he is found guilty of rape and first degree murder. With Laura thinking that she's safe from trial, [=McCoy=] lures her into admitting in front of the court how much she enjoyed raping her sister. The judge rejects the plea deal and remands Laura for trial. Her lawyer agrees to a minimum 25 years if Laura confesses who the two unidentified victims were and what happened to them. They turn out to have been runaways and were both murdered. [=McCoy=] has no way of knowing what role Laura played in their deaths, but figures she can tell the parole board her story in 25 years' time.

Two teenage girls are found dead in an abandoned building. It is established that they were drugged and raped. One of the girls apparently choked to death on her own vomit, after which the other was strangled and both bodies dumped in the building. The deceased are identified as Jane Kendrick and Annika Ohlman, and their deaths are linked to a string of unsolved rapes. Briscoe and Green question Peter Williams, one of two potential suspects for the rapes, but he denies any knowledge.
