Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald arrive at The Pierre hotel where Manhattan's wealthiest donors have gathered for charity. A deadly explosion tears through the Cotillion Room, killing multiple victims and evoking memories of September 11th. Jordan and MacDonald must determine whether they face a terrorist attack or calculated murder. The killer strikes again, targeting a prominent female film director in an isolated part of the city. As members of NYPD Red, the elite task force handles crimes involving the rich and powerful. The investigation forces Jordan and MacDonald to confront parallels between the victim's complicated personal life and their own tangled relationship. Their partnership walks a dangerous line between professional and personal. The murderer continues his calculated revenge scheme, each attack more brazen than the last. He targets the heart of New York's elite while threatening to destroy NYPD Red itself. Jordan and MacDonald race to decode his pattern before he completes his vendetta and brings down everything they've worked to protect.
