A group of men at a bachelor party are watching an amateur porn video that appears to show a girl being raped and shot dead. They hand the video over to the police. But when Briscoe and Green trace the supposed victim, Corey Russell, she's still alive. The tape was recorded over footage of a family party, which leads the detectives to Corey's classmate Shane Sutter. Under pressure from Van Buren, Corey says Shane raped her and had his friend Kyle Winters film it. The boys are charged with rape. Now the [=DA=]'s office must investigate Corey's claim that Shane and his friends, who call themselves the "Mack Rangers", have made similar videos with other girls.

A group of men at a bachelor party are watching an amateur porn video that appears to show a girl being raped and shot dead. They hand the video over to the police. But when Briscoe and Green trace the supposed victim, Corey Russell, she's still alive. The tape was recorded over footage of a family party, which leads the detectives to Corey's classmate Shane Sutter. Under pressure from Van Buren, Corey says Shane raped her and had his friend Kyle Winters film it. The boys are charged with rape. Now the [=DA=]'s office must investigate Corey's claim that Shane and his friends, who call themselves the "Mack Rangers", have made similar videos with other girls.

The Mack Rangers compete with each other to see who can "score" the most girls, often recording a sex tape as proof. Any girls who say no risk bullying and sexual harassment. In court [=McCoy=] summons a witness who turned Shane down, so the Mack Rangers threatened her until she transferred schools. Corey says she didn't want the same to happen to her, so she initially agreed to sleep with Shane. But when Corey didn't want to be recorded, Shane raped her and staged her "death" for the camera. [=McCoy=] tells the jury about the Mack Rangers' point-scoring system, and pushes Shane to admit that he wanted to get ahead of his friends. Shane and Kyle are both convicted.
