When a Marine Captain is found dead on an Army base with one of the witnesses being Gibbs's third ex-wife, the NCIS team open an investigation to find the killer with Gibbs's past and present relationships threatening to collide with each other.
==Prologue==
Stephanie Flynn and Jill Reynolds arrive back from a conference with Jill thanking Stephanie for picking her up.
Once they're inside, they head for the study where Jill's husband, Trent Reynolds is and ask him to turn down the blaring music which Jill eventually turns down.
Stephanie edges closer to say hi to Trent but gets a shock where she discovers that he's dead with an arrow having gone straight through the upper side of Trent's body.
It then cuts to Stephanie who looks greatly horrified at the discovery.
