As death row prisoner Mark Ford Brady (guest star Roy Scheider, "Jaws") nears his end, he asks to see Detective Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) in hopes to extend his sentence and leads him to hidden scrapbooks which chronicle unsolved cases and victims. When Detectives Eames (Kathryn Erbe) and Goren uncover the identities of the women and victims in Brady's scrapbooks, they come across a familiar picture -- Goren's mother, Frances (guest star Rita Moreno). Through the help of his brother, Frank (guest star Tony Goldwyn), Goren learns a troubling secret about his mother and deals with her numbered days.
