Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the assault/car accident of a corporate finance officer and murder of her boyfriend and stumble onto a corporate accounting fraud/stock manipulation scheme.The corporate finance officer, Elizabeth Dawson, had been investigating her corporation's accounting irregularities and had refused to sign the accounting statements. Unbeknownst to Dawson, it was her corporate boss (Chief Financial Officer Jack Crawley) who had assaulted her, murdered her boyfriend and subsequently framed her for that murder. If she would sign the accounting statements, Crawley would provide her with an alibi.An important clue -- the wrapper of rare breath mints found at the corporate finance officer's car accident/assault -- those rare breath mints are also found on the corporation's jet.
