Plot summary
The shooting murder of a Wall Street investment bank CEO David Kellen ( David Alan Basche ) takes Detectives Goren and Eames on an investigative trail that leads into the world of high finance, mergers and acquisitions. It appears Kellen and his colleague Aston Skinner ( Eric Sheffer Stevens ) were in the habit of using a premiere match broker Stephanie Miller ( Julie White ) who runs The Swan Club to find high class women for them. They interview Kellen's date, Andrea Stiles ( Beatrice Rosen ), and his former girlfriend, Nikki Vansen ( America Olivo ), but find that Kellen loved Vanessa Colway ( Alexandra Silber ), a working class woman from the last residential street on Manhattan Island, 218th in Inwood.
They uncover that Vanessa's father Shawn ( Jack McGee ) owed local thug, Jack Driscoll ( Nick Chinlund ), a large sum of money and she gave Driscoll inside information from Kellen on an upcoming merger to repay the debt. When Kellen found what Driscoll had done, he threatened to expose Driscoll who then murdered him. To persuade Vanessa to help them convict Driscoll, Goren and Eames pretend that he killed her father.
