Amsterdam investigates a homeless man's death outside of a new homeless shelter.
Amsterdam is in charge of the investigation of a shooting death of a young woman and meets his newly assigned partner, Eva Marquez. Suspects in the death include the woman's current boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend (the son of a wealthy developer) and the developer himself.
John's first homicide partner Andy Gleason contacts John and tells him he is dying of leukemia brought on by lead poisoning from a bullet fired by an unseen shooter three years previously. He asks John to bring his killer to justice, because of his weakened condition he can't do it himself. The investigation brings John in contact with the Viktor Brodsky and his Russian Mafia gang while he flashes back to how he got started as a police detective. Meanwhile, John becomes closer to Sarah but on their way home he is shot by an assailant.
