As Frank digs into the suspicious circumstances, he begins to suspect the young man was simply a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, mistaken for the real target, a high-profile businessman.  The claim is legit.  But the closer Frank gets to untangling the twisted truth behind murder and corruption, the tighter the noose around his own neck becomes.
