A news report leads to attempted murder when a journalist puts America soldiers lives in danger.
When a controversial reporter who was recently forced to return from covering the war in Iraq after revealing the position of the unit he was embedded with is shot in the back outside a trendy club, Detectives Briscoe and Green sort through a laundry list of people with a grudge against the victim. However, when ballistics show the bullets used in the attack came from an army issued handgun, the detectives set their sights on a disgruntled sergeant who blames the journalist for the death of several of his men.
