The torching of a Laundromat is the latest in a series of arsons which the 15th Division must work. The list of suspects is long so Chris and Gail take to the streets while Traci interrogates a person found at the scene. Andy is left to deal with the widow who insists on entering the burnt-out building which ends with the two of them trapped inside.

When a tenement-building shooting leads to the discovery of an executed gang leader, 15 Division must race to find the killer before a gang war breaks out. As the murderer zeroes in on the one witness who can tie him to the crime, Andy and her rookie, Duncan, are put to a life-and-death test of true police heroism.
