With an illegal arms deal and a hunt for Somali terrorists hanging in the balance, Detectives Goren, Eames, Nichols, and newcomer Stevens combine resources in an attempt to bring justice.

Nichols and Stevens clash with a Queens precinct when one of their detectives is shot and killed in the close-knit Broad Channel community, which is under the influence of Irish crime boss Jackie Dooley (Kevin Conway).
