After leaving her legal career for a new investigative role, Elsbeth finds herself jockeying with NYPD Captain C.W. Wagner as an outside observer for the U.S. Department of Justice in the wake of misconduct findings. Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke, who has orders from Wagner to marginalize the attorney's impact on police operations.
