When the association president of a swanky Manhattan condominium tower is murdered with an electrical saw, Detectives Goren and Eames find themselves dead-center in a beehive of secrets among its residents -- but a disturbed young nanny draws their attention and prompts them to use Eames as a decoy. Concerns over the building's shoddy construction and suspicious behavior between other owners force the detectives to look behind the marbled facade.
