Recluse Gilbert Remmery reports having seen from his house-boat a car chasing a colored girl, but is initially disbelieved as a lonely weirdo and later retracts his statement, after his beloved dog was kidnapped. George Remmery, his more assertive brother, shoots at team recruit Ema, who violated orders by investigating on her own the neighborhood, controlled by a dodgy real estate investment firm. Both cases are linked by shady attorney Davina Lansknecht, hard porn baron Barracudan's ace, but the supervising judge refuse a search warrant against an 'amicus curiae' without solid proof.
