The episode begins with Malloy and Reed responding to a domestic disturbance call. Upon arrival, they discover that the suspect is actually a fellow officer named Sergeant Joe Landers. After resolving the situation and taking Landers into custody, they learn that he is being investigated by the Internal Affairs Division (I.A.D.) for using excessive force.

As part of the investigation, Malloy and Reed are tasked with obtaining statements from witnesses and gathering evidence. However, their efforts are met with resistance from fellow officers who view I.A.D. as the enemy.

Ultimately, Malloy and Reed must navigate the complex web of police culture and personal relationships in order to get to the truth and bring justice to all parties involved.
