Hunter (Fred Dryer) and McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) go undercover to find out why a murdered woman was tortured and injected with truth serum before she was killed. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the dead woman was the girlfriend of McCall's onetime partner Sgt. Riley Causland (Robert Firth), who seems to have gone out of his way to frame Hunter for the crime. Before the final fadeout, the detectives uncover a plan to imbed Soviet "sleeper agents" in the US--and one key character pays a terrible price for his involvement in the plot machinations. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
