Beau Felton is found dead in his house with his head blown off. At first, it looks like a suicide - not helped when Detective Paul Falsone (Creator/JonSeda) of the auto squad accuses Felton of being dirty and working with an auto theft ring - but when Dr. Cox determines Felton was shot in the head before the shotgun blast, it turns into a murder investigation. Not only that, but Detective Stu Gharty (Creator/PeterGerety) reveals Felton was actually working in Internal Affairs as an undercover cop and believes he was killed because of that.
