After twenty years a new team of detectives is hot on the trail of a dead baby discovered in a house in Newport, RI that dates back to that infamous week. Jack must now relive that tragic week in order to help the detectives, but what Jack doesn't realize is that his medical expertise is just what the detectives need to turn him into a suspect and defendant.
