Years ago, Stan's first case made sensational headlines. The rookie cop arrested Beth Botrelle for murdering her husband, a Chicago Police detective. In just two days, Beth will be executed, and Stan's conscience is bothering him. It's just a little thing, but he screwed up the evidence gathering that night. He tells Fraser he knows she's guilty - Beth was in the shower washing off her husband's blood when he arrested her. Still, he'd feel more comfortable if there were no loose ends.
At the murder scene, Stan [had] picked up a blood-soaked piece of paper and put it in his pocket, corrupting the chain of evidence. Stan never read it. After the arrest, he turned it over to a senior officer, Detective Sam Franklin, who said he'd take care of it. Franklin put it in a numbered evidence bag. When it didn't come up in court, Stan assumed it was unimportant. Now he'd like to know what it was. If he knew, maybe he'd feel better. At the evidence lock-up, Fraser and Stan find the bag, but it's definitely not the same piece of paper. Someone's covering up something.
No one wants the case reopened. The woman was convicted of killing a cop. She deserves to die. End of story. Except for that one piece of paper nagging at Stan's conscience. State's Attorney Robert Bedford, who worked with Boetrelle on a crime commission, warns them off the case. He's running for Governor and doesn't want them drawing any political heat.
Fraser and Stan discover Detective Boetrelle was a corrupt police officer. Would the missing paper reveal the corruption? Would it implicate others? Beth Boetrelle may be as innocent as she'd claimed all along. With the clock ticking, Fraser and Stan race to solve the mystery surrounding the murder and prevent the execution of an innocent woman.
