The mini-series features interviews with New York City’s best detectives and prosecutors as they revisit the most challenging homicide cases of their careers. As the brilliant protectors of the law recall the details, the show provides reenactments of those events, allowing its viewers a glimpse into the city’s most dreadful past crimes.
