Plot summary

Jarvis Bowes has spent the last 30 years in a psychiatric hospital after being convicted for the rape and murder of Malory Cerone. While institutionalized, he wrote a song which was covered by a pop band and has recently hit the top of the charts. Now Alicia and Lockhart/Gardner are helping Cerone's daughter sue Bowes for the proceeds from the song, claiming he wrote it about killing Malory Cerone. But when Alicia looks into Bowes' crime, she finds that the roots of the song may be even more disturbing than had been initially thought. Meanwhile Alicia and Diane help Eli attempt to secure citizenship for Natalie Flores, but their case hits a snag when Flores' father is wrongfully arrested and threatened with deportation.
