After intimidating them for "defacing" public property by scrawling their names in wet cement, he forces Dave to get into the car, then drives off. As it turns out, the man is a pedophile, not a cop, and Dave is not seen for four days, after he escapes from his kidnappers.

Sean and his partner (Laurence Fishburne) are assigned to the case and discover that Dave, through a series of circumstances and secrets from his past, may be connected. Meanwhile, ex-con Jimmy wants to take the law into his own hands.
