When a female embryologist is found dead in a fertility clinic storage room, Detectives Briscoe and Curtis search for the killer who has also mysteriously damaged other frozen embryos from a storage freezer -- making the embryos useless. The evidence left behind leads the detectives to believe that the killer was desperate enough to kill anyone who got in the way. Assistant District Attorneys McCoy and Carmichael must figure out how they can convict the young woman's killer without sacrificing their own beliefs.
