Shattered

Detectives Bruce Catelli and Madeline Maguire of the Vancouver Police Department's Priority Crime Unit investigate a mass shooting at a South Asian restaurant. The unknown gunmen shot five people dead, seriously wounded a now unconscious Jane Doe, but left one woman named Amita Sandhu, the restaurant owner, unharmed. Catelli and Maguire's initial thoughts are that it is a gang hit in a turf war. Catelli and Maguire are unaware that someone else is also investigating the murders, namely Kyle Loggins, an ex Vancouver police detective on disability leave. Kyle has suffered from dissociative identity disorder since his wife and daughter were murdered. Loggins knows of and interacts with three of his other personalities: the arrogant A-personality Jack, the analytical Hal, and the child Tyler. It was Jack that spurred Kyle to investigate the gang murders, which the collective four don't believe was gang related at all due to evidence at the crime scene. After the start of the investigation, Kyle wants to help the young and ambitious Maguire solve the case. Maguire, with Kyle's ultimate assistance, is able to piece together Amita Sandu's connection to the Jane Doe and the reason for the murders which has to do with land developers and a missing baby.

In the first moments of the series, Ben is bonded in blood to his tough, beautiful partner, Amy Lynch, when the two are involved in a shooting that they must cover up together.

Terry and Holl investigate the death of Wendy Summers, a heart transplant recipient who died as a result of the transplant. They try to find out about the transplant, about which her husband Brian Summers doesn't seem to be totally truthful. Meanwhile, Ben and Amy investigate the murder of Dr. Wen Zhang, his body stuffed in a laundromat washing machine. Dr. Zhang, who was not yet accredited in Canada, was a prominent Chinese national with a wealthy Canadian wife, Amanda Fleming. Because of his status, the Chinese Embassy wants to be involved peripherally in the investigation, that against the wishes of Ben and Amy. The questioning of one of the laundromat employees, Zan Ji, also a Chinese national and an illegal immigrant, leads Ben and Amy to 'Brother' Reggie Song, a local notorious drug dealer, and a container shipment of his, the container which they assume is filled with drugs. When Ben and Amy discover what is actually in the container, they find a connection to another case in their office, which leads to the question of why one of their witnesses lied to them. And at the Sullivan home, Ella finds evidence of a woman in Ben's life named Naomi. In tracking down Naomi, Ella finds that the connection relates back to "Harry", one of Ben's alternate personalities.

The unit investigates the mass murder of a group of five young men found shot to death in a mobile home. All the deceased are members of a gang called the Unity Gang. The only survivor found at the scene of the crime is a young woman named Simone, who is found hiding in a car outside the home. Upon examining her, doctors confirm that Simone was raped by multiple persons and was slipped the date rape drug. Also found at the scene is the murder weapon with partial prints of an unknown person. The unit believes the perpetrator or perpetrators are members of a rival gang, leads to those gangs which they follow. But especially based on Ryan's assessment of Simone under questioning by Ben and Amy, they also believe she isn't telling all that she knows - she tells the investigators that she can't remember what happened because she was drugged - especially in hiding the fact of a boyfriend named Joseph Young, also a Unity Gang member. If Joseph is as devoted to Simone as her Facebook page indicates, why he would have allowed her to attend the gang party where she was the only female. That aspect of the case becomes all the more important when Simone and Joseph are the intended targets of a drive-by shooting. Meanwhile, Ella makes some decisions about her and Ben's home life, especially as he, as Harry, is cheating on her. She also makes a decision about how she will cope with the entire situation. TC vows to break off her affair with Super, against his persistent advances. And Ryan is keeping a secret about himself, which is not so secret at least to Ben.

A prostitute named Susan Collins is found murdered, she who is shot five times at point blank range. One of the key pieces of evidence is Susan's cell phone, the names off which the police conduct their initial questioning. Based on this questioning, the police believe that her murder has something to do with competing "escort services" and Susan's allegiance to a former pimp versus her current pimp. One of the names on the cell phone is of another prostitute named Sunshine. Amy and Ben's undercover meeting with Sunshine places Ben in a difficult situation. Another prominent name in the cell phone is that of a local judge, who initially denies knowing Susan, but ultimately confesses to his association with her, which is not quite what the police were expecting. But as Sunshine assists Ben, Amy, Terry and Holl on the case, other information comes to light as to secondary work Susan was conducting. Meanwhile, TC and Super's relationship places a strain amongst the unit. And TC has an interesting conversation with Super's wife, Laura Whitehill.

A series of bombs have been detonated at large corporate targets such as oil companies and engineering firms, with no direct ties between the companies themselves. Gordon Banner is leading the investigation for the national security agency, which is in charge of the big picture aspects of the case, with the local police dealing with the detailed work, such as reviewing video surveillance and gathering witness statements. On the surface, the two agencies don't mesh well as Banner seems to be the type that has a theory and will try and fit the pieces to match that theory. Amy and Holl are left to conduct the mundane work of reviewing video footage and monitoring on-line chatter, while Ben, Terry, Banner and his team follow up on any field tips. Although both avenues do yield useful information, Amy and Holl's on-line chatter surveillance yields what they believe the most useful tip, a posting by someone who they believe is either the bomber or knows the bomber. This specific piece is posted on Nick's crime forum, and Holl needs to strike a deal of exclusive information to Nick - despite a media blackout - in exchange for him assisting them. During this case, Ben has a black-out which happens at an opportune or inopportune time, depending upon the viewpoint. Ben's behavior during this black-out doesn't sit well with Amy. Amy, who helped Ben out of an earlier black-out situation, confronts Ella with her beliefs that Ben has multiple personalities. With that earlier black-out situation, Ben tries to find out what happened as his car went missing and he sustained a head wound. He discovers that there are some ties to illegal drug dealings. Much like Amy confronted Ella, Ryan confronts Ben about his black-outs and what they mean. And Ella herself meets with an old friend who she has not seen in some time, the meeting to help her deal with her own emotional turmoil.

Ben visits with Ella's supplier friend, Linda Rousso, to see if Ella is back using drugs. During the visit, Ben blacks out, and awakens in her apartment surrounded by empty liquor bottles and Linda unconscious with a needle sticking out of her arm. Later, Vina receives a wrath of drug overdose cases in the morgue, all from the same supply of high grade heroin, the same supply that nearly killed Linda. As Ben and Amy investigate these deaths, they try and co-opt Linda into providing as much information as she can about the original source of the heroin. They have to wade through Linda's mixture of lies and truths. Ben's utmost concern, however, is if Linda also provided Ella with this potentially fatal supply of drugs. Meanwhile, a woman witnesses a dead female's body being dumped in the water, the victim who is later identified as Sophie Carter. Her evidence leads to Terry and Holl finding the probable car that sped away from the scene and the car's owner, Victor Hugo. In an impulsive move based on what was going down at the time, Terry and Holl find almost conclusive evidence that Victor killed Sophie, which he vehemently denies. The unfortunate thing is that although they had a warrant to search the car, they didn't have one to search the house - where most of the evidence was found - despite Terry and Holl believing their entry into the house legitimate. Being able to hold Victor without charge for twenty-four hours, Terry and Holl have to find more conclusive evidence in examining the car or exact a confession from Victor.

Eighteen year old Mark Sims is found shot to death in a dumpster. He has a petty crime sheet along with a friend named Rick Baker. Rick's father tells Ben and Amy about a cache of money of which Rick recently came into possession. Ben and Amy tie the case to gunshots and a robbery at an after hours club. TC approves an undercover operation at the club. While undercover, one of Ben's alter egos, Harry, appears, placing himself and Amy on tenuous ground. Ultimately, "Harry" befriends the club's owner, a wealthy German immigrant named Karl Alvert. Karl, a leading suspect in Mark's death, is a devoted father who will do anything for his son, Stephan. With Harry's position as "friend", Ben and Amy are able to work both sides of the investigation, but not always with success. Meanwhile, Terry and Holl investigate a possible upcoming murder when the proprietor of a satirical "hitman" website tells of a woman named Cynthia Klein, who has emailed him asking that he arrange for the murder of her husband.

Sixty-seven year old Sylvia Brody is found strangled to death in her bed. It looks as if she was raped before being killed. The initial suspect is Bernard Stokes, a young man whose car was seen parked outside Sylvia's home. The two would have known each other as Bernard works in the care facility where Sylvia's now deceased husband lived before his death from Alzheimer's. The detectives learn that Bernard loves women - all women - and is rumored to be sleeping with several of the facility's residents. As Terry and Holl follow up on the leads on Bernard, Amy is certain that Bernard is not the killer. This case is almost identical to one which she investigated while she worked in sex crimes. The victim in that case, a young woman named Marilyn O'Connor, survived her rape. Based on evidence, Marilyn and Amy were certain that her attacker was one of her professors, Kirk Mitchell, but Amy couldn't produce enough evidence to charge him. As Amy and Ben question Mitchell, he in turn threatens to file harassment charges as he feels his life was ruined by the previous allegations meaning that Amy and Ben will have to tread lightly. Amy believes the key to nailing Mitchell for both Sylvia's murder and Marilyn's rape is Mitchell's seemingly scared wife, Annie Mitchell. As Amy seems to be taking this case personally, Ben tries to find out why. And Ben admits to Ryan that his blackouts are becoming more frequent, however Ben seems unwilling to deal with or discover whatever the underlying causes.

Ben and Amy are each having a voluntary counseling session with Ryan following a shooting incident at the station, which resulted in some serious injuries and some fatalities. Two prisoners in lock-up were being transferred to jail when the incident occurred. The instigator of the incident was one of the prisoners, a drugged up Jimmy Tapert, who had a long rap sheet and was in custody for a pharmacy hold-up and shooting. The other prisoner was Paul Keefer, who was in custody for fatally beating up a fourteen year old boy named Glen Mason in a street fight. Although Paul may have dealt the fatal blow, Vina discovered that Glen had a long history of physical abuse against him which were the underlying causes of his death. Two other outsiders in the station at the time of the incident were Glen's angry mother, Colleen Mason, who continually vented her anger against Paul, and Nick, who, despite stating that he was there to cover a story, was probably there more to see Amy. As Amy relates her side of the story to Ryan, she admits her true feelings about Nick. And as Ben relates his story, Ryan determines that what others in the station may have seen as acts of his bravado were in fact more of his blackouts. In his heart, Ben fears that one of those blackouts may have resulted in some of the deaths, especially of one who was basically a good person despite the situation.

The dead body of Charlotte Simms, an accountant, is found in her office by her fourteen year old daughter, Mia Simms. Charlotte was beaten and asphyxiated, with a clear plastic bag over her head. Beyond her mother's death, Mia is concerned for her own welfare since she is not on the greatest terms with either her older brother, Jonah Simms, or her absent father. Ben and Amy discover that Charlotte's murder may have something to do with one of her clients, Dante Ware who is the head of a biker gang. Because of the possible gang connection, Super calls in Tom Rutherford with the gangs & guns unit, he who may be able to shed some light on the case. As Ben and Amy dig deeper, they find a full circle connection between Charlotte, Jonah and Dante, who in turn is seen with someone unexpected. And one of Ben's alter egos has a less than conventional night with Mia. Meanwhile, Terry and Holl continue their investigation into a six month old unsolved case of a murdered woman and daughter, the prime suspect being the deceaseds' husband and father, Martin Yates, who admits to having had an affair with his secretary, Erin, at the time. Re-interviewing both Martin and Erin and new DNA evidence provides the detectives with a clearer picture of what happened. And TC has what looks to be a pre-arranged dinner alone with Super's wife, Laura.

Five adults - three males and two females, all in their twenties - are found shot dead gangland style at what appears to be the wedding reception of Ramjit Kumar (one of the deceased) and Mohinder Sood (not among the deceased) in a restaurant that the two of them own. All the men sport the same scorpion tattoo, the trademark of a local gang of that name. Other evidence indicates that there was a baby at the scene, and that neither of the dead women is the mother. Mohinder Sood, who pretended to be dead while the shooting occurred, eventually comes into the police station to tell what she believes to have happened. Despite security cameras showing that the probable shooters are two known white youths named Patrick Michaels and Ron Kelly, Mohinder believes they were hired by her land developer father, Akil Sood, to kidnap her infant son Sujil, since her father hated Ramjit and hated her for getting pregnant. As the police look into Akil's business and Ramjit and Mohinder's business, they believe they may have found a connection to the murders and kidnapping, a connection which has Akil also a victim. A grief stricken mother may jeopardize the proceedings. Meanwhile, Terry receives two associated pieces of unexpected news concerning his personal life. And during their counseling sessions, Ryan feels that Ben needs to grieve the possibility that he may never see Adam again to be able to progress on finding out the triggers of his blackouts.

The homicide detectives investigate a twenty year closed case when twenty-five year old Sophia Bacic now believes she witnessed the murder of her older sister, Josie Bacic. Two youths, friends Gil Dobeck and Matthew Evans, who were present at the crime scene by the Fraser River, were convicted of the murder, and sentenced to life. The two have always professed their innocence. Dobeck recently committed suicide, Evans believing that he lost hope since the parole board denied him for the third time for not showing remorse. Sophia, now in therapy and feeling her own remorse upon hearing about Dobeck's suicide, believes that her remembrances are of her father dumping "something" in a large bag by the crime scene. Vina's review, which includes a physical review of the exhumed body, shows that Josie was the victim of some sort of abuse and was not murdered at the supposed crime scene. When the now retired investigating officer, Donald Portman, learns that the case is reopened, he does not react too kindly. The detectives believe he may be hiding something about the case. And eventually both the Bacic parents are brought in for questioning, they who also vehemently deny murdering their daughter. The detectives have to figure out who is lying or how the pieces fit together. This case and other issues in his life are making Ben remember an incident from his childhood when he, after running away because of the constant abuse by his stepfather, was taken in by a kindly aboriginal woman named Carol. Ben, with Ryan's help, wants to remember a missing year in his childhood associated with that incident.

The Homicide Unit investigates the murder of Malcolm Jones, who was shot point blank inside his home. At the scene, they find a memory stick but no computer. When the detectives see the videos on the memory stick, TC immediately pulls Ben from the case. On the videos are images of a boy who they believe is Ben's missing son Adam being sexually abused by Malcolm. Ryan goes into intensive therapy with Ben, who has always believed that his stepfather, Roland Miller, who physically abused Ben as a child but who, when Ben last saw him, professed to being born again, abducted Adam. As Ben tries to remember things about his past, both as a child and the incidents surrounding Adam's abduction and Roland's coinciding visits, Ben, with some emotional jolts, starts to piece together his fragmented memory. As the detectives pursue their primary lead against a suspected head of a pedophile ring, his name being Leo Baines, Amy reluctantly reconnects professionally and personally with Nick, the personal connection so that Nick won't print a story on Adam's possible recovery before he is actually found. Their encounter takes a turn for the worse.
