Rush and Valens re-open the 1932 case when a truck
containing human bones is pulled from the Delaware
River. Rush and Valens link the truck to a former
prohibition era bootlegger and learn that the bones may
belong to his sister, Rose, who unexpectedly went
missing with the truck. As the case takes shape, Rush
discovers that Rose took up company with a black girl
who dressed and behaved like a man, named Billie. When
forensics confirms the bones are not Rose's, Valens
tracks her down and learns of her controversial
friendship with Billie, which alienated several people,
including Billie's ex-lover, Georgie, who always
believed they were more than friends.
