25 TO LIFE #1 (OF 3)

(W) Eriq LaSalle, Doug Wagner (A) Tony Shasteen Co-written by E.R. star Eriq LaSalle! Three African-American police officers have been brutally murdered in Virginia. An elite, yet experimental, FBI unit, formed especially to investigate high-profile crimes, is called upon to head up the investigation. The team matches its investigators with hardened criminals incarcerated for committing similar crimes. In this particular instance, it means working with a racist militia leader serving a life sentence, a man who would rather help the murderer than stop the killing spree.
