Novelist Sophia Cameron is found dead in an apparent suicide. Her husband believes that a controversial church called Systemotics was responsible. He claims that Systemotics has deliberately sabotaged the Camerons' careers in order to promote Hollywood actress Kate Westwood, a church member who was Sophia's close friend. Sophia planned to go to the police with her suspicions that Systemotics was involved in the death of Kate's son, so Mr. Cameron insists they had her killed. Complications emerge when Cameron jumps from a hotel balcony in an effort to frame Systemotics' leader for pushing him, and new evidence shows Sophia's "suicide" was staged.

Lupo and Bernard discover that Cameron has been faking his alibi, and that Sophia had planned to leave him before she was killed. He is arrested for her murder. When Systemotics representatives attend the trial, Westwood refuses to testify and the court is adjourned. Cameron's lawyer portrays Systemotics as a sinister cult, and highlights its obsessively keeping tabs on anyone who might pose a threat to the church, which included Sophia Cameron. The jurors are so intimidated that they refuse to deliberate, and the judge wants to request a mistrial. Cutter uses Cameron's paranoia to lure him into accepting a plea - convincing him that the judge, jurors, and all the [=DAs=] are members of Systemotics. Cameron confesses he did kill his wife, and accepts fifteen years for murder.
