When the construction crew demolishes a block wall to make room for the new boiler, they discover a hidden room with a body strapped to a chair, gagged.

The detectives soon recruit a retired firefighter, Billy Sutter, who still lives in the neighborhood and remembers the bully and the events that took place then. Billy teams up with Jackie Summers, a new detective in training.
