James Jimmy Salter is a young man who is accused of the murder of his own father, who was a well-respected and affluent businessman. The evidence against Jimmy is strong, including motive, opportunity, and a bloody knife found at the scene of the crime. However, his defense attorney, Erich Blunt, believes in his innocence and enlists the help of his investigator, Hildy Mulligan, to find evidence that exonerates him.

As Hildy delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a web of family secrets and lies that leads her to suspect that Jimmy's mother, Beverly, may have played a role in the murder.

Will Mario be able to keep his personal and professional life separate? And who really killed James Salter? Find out in this gripping episode of Murder in the First.
