Abe Lieberman, the Chicago PD detective, has never has it easy when it comes to emotional cases, but this time the action is getting little too close to home. His temple has been vandalized along with four others, and it looks like the vandals have more sinister plans in mind. Finding the culprit opens a window on the broiling ethnic tensions on Chicago"s North Side, and what"s happening in Abe"s family life does nothing to turn down the heat. If he and his partner, Hanrahan, can locate the vandals who have targeted the city"s Jews, they may be able to put a stop to some of the madness before violence enters the picture.
