A dealer named Troy escapes a bust, and Detective Mayfield is wounded. Lieutenant Brooks sends James to Miami to find out who Troy answers to. Ben wants to go along so he can show he is cut out for detective work, and because he keeps getting in the way of the wedding planning, Angela talks James into taking him. In Miami the two meet Maya, a homicide detective who lets them know the city is her turf, and A.J., a hacker with knowledge of the case.
