Dr. Jake Rosen, deputy chief medical examiner for New York City, gets
a call from his beloved mentor, Dr. Pete Harrigan, who as county
medical examiner in his retirement upstate, has just been handed a
pile of bones dug up in an excavation for a new mall. After Harrigan
identifies the bones of Korean War vet James Albert Lyons, who
mysteriously disappeared in 1963, Jake suggests that Lyons's daughter
hire an attorney, Philomena "Manny" Manfreda, a fashionista spitfire
who specializes in representing the downtrodden. On their first date,
Jake takes Manny to dinner and then to an emergency autopsy, where
they banter cute while he dissects the corpse. After Harrigan dies of
apparently natural causes, the body count rises, the romance between
Manny and Jake heats up and soon nefarious experiments by the
government come to light.
