Detectives Benson and Amaro investigate a string of rapes in a tight-knit Orthodox Jewish community. Their search for the perpetrator leads them to a disturbed young man named Ariel, who is struggling with mental health issues and has a history of violence. As they delve deeper into Ariel's life, they discover that his family is also struggling with his brother's recent death and his father's deteriorating health.

Meanwhile, ADA Barba makes a controversial decision to charge Ariel with hate crimes, sparking a heated debate about the role of mental illness in criminal behavior and the significance of religious identity in hate crimes. As tensions rise within the community and Ariel's family begins to crumble under the weight of the investigation, Benson and Amaro race against the clock to catch the rapist before he strikes again.

As the case takes a toll on all involved, including Benson and her relationship with Cassidy, the detectives must find a way to balance justice with compassion, and navigate the complex web of trauma, grief, and religious tradition that surrounds them. In the end, they are left with more questions than answers, and must confront the limitations of the justice system and the fragility of their own humanity.
