In the middle of the night, Mac gets a call from anonymous person telling him that he buried a body at Giant’s Stadium and then he commits suicide. Along with the New Jersey NYPD the CSIs head to Giant’s Stadium where they find skeleton remains. They also find a cigarette butt at the scene. Hawkes confirms that the victim is a teenage male. Mac tries to find the association between their teenage victim and the man who committed suicide, identified as Salvador Zabo. Dr. Pino confirms that Zabo had a tattoo on his back that reads Tanglewood. Mac tells Danny that the Tanglewood Boys were a group of criminals that he had to deal with years ago. Danny says that his brother was affiliated with their gang. Meanwhile, Hawkes ties the gun in the grave to the gun that Zabo used to kill himself. The gun used to kill the teenager is tied to a Sonny Sassone; who stole the equipment. Lindsey processes the cigarette butt, and confirms that the pack was manufactured in 1991; making the victim about 32 years old today. She also confirms that someone in the lab was the one who smoked the cigarette. Danny confesses that he was at the scene with his brother, Sonny and Salvador. Sonny was upset because the victim made a bad drug deal. However, Danny swears he left the scene before they entered the stadium. Mac meets up with Louie, Danny’s brother, and Louie says he will handle the case himself, and is enraged that his brother is in trouble. Soon after, Louise ends up in the hospital, fighting for his life, in what appears to be a beating from the Tanglewood gang. Mac struggles to set his investigator free before any one else is hurt.

Meanwhile, Stella and Danny find banker Jim Mooney stabbed to death in his hotel suite. The words “I caught you bitch, get home,” appear on the mirror. Danny finds a tan substance on the bed sheets that matches up with air stockings. Stella analyzes the hand-writing on the mirror via a hand-writing database and ties it to a Newt Glick. Glick runs a high-end brothel, where his girls make two-thousand dollars an hour. Stella has his girls line up so she can determine which one was wearing the air stockings. Stella and Flack head over to where call girl Melanie Stefano is entertaining a Paul Sabotini. Melanie confesses that she was sleeping with the banker on her day off, which was forbidden by her boss. She says that Newt found out, went to the hotel and she fled the scene. Meanwhile, Stella confirms that the weapon used at the scene of the crime is an oyster shucking knife. By nabbing Melanie’s little black book, Stella realizes that Sabotini is an oyster chef. With an excessive amount of clues under her belt, all Stella has to evaluate is whether Sabotini killed the banker or Stefano, the money-hungry call girl.
