DCPD Detective Marko Zorn has several problems to deal with. His occasional side job of doing little favors for the less-than-legit citizens of DC has him tasked with eliminating a plotting lieutenant of an aging crime boss. He learns of a shipment of guns coming into the District which different people want their hands on. And a body of a female Secret Service agent in the Reflecting Pool has him told to back off by lots of powerful people, including the VIPs in the White House.
