RED to wyjątkowy oddział policji stworzony przez burmistrza Nowego Jorku. Wybrani detektywi prowadzą śledztwa, w które są zamieszani ludzie z pierwszych stron gazet – politycy, aktorzy, biznesmeni i gwiazdy sportu. Elita chroni elitę. Miastem, które podobno nigdy nie zasypia, wstrząsają kolejne okrutne zbrodnie. Del Fairfax zginął w wybuchu podczas przyjęcia charytatywnego. Arnold Zimmer, jego wspólnik, został zamordowany w kampusie Rockefeller University. W obu przypadkach ładunki wybuchowe umieszczono z dużą precyzją, tak by nie było innych ofiar.
