Plot Synopsis

From Executive Producer Dick Wolf DEAD AGAIN is a one-hour reality series that follows a team of three detectives -- Michele Wood (Homicide Detective, Chicago), Joe Schillaci (Retired Deputy Commander, Miami) and Kevin Gannon (Retired Detective Sergeant, NYC) -- who re-examine controversial murder cases in which unresolved questions still linger long after the verdict. With no prior knowledge of the crime or the verdict, the team begins each investigation at a meticulously reconstructed crime scene and work the case, interviewing witnesses, forensic specialists and other key players, to see if they come to the same conclusion as the original investigators -- or if they uncover new evidence that reveals the killer is still out there. Throughout the season, DEAD AGAIN takes viewers all over the country in pursuit of justice, focusing on a single case in each 60-minute episode. In Georgia, the team re-investigates the vicious double-homicide of a father and son attacked in their home. When the detectives arrive in Ohio to re-open the horrific case of a young mother whose throat was slashed while her children slept nearby, they soon learn that she had been leading a double-life, while exploring claims of a police cover up. And in Texas, the investigators re-examine the brutal murder of a young art student whose case takes an unexpected turn that reveals a sinister plot for revenge. The three investigators are: Detective Michelle Wood, a homicide officer from Chicago with 13 years on the force; Detective Joe Schillaci, a 30-year veteran of the Miami PD with a background in homicide and undercover work; and Kevin 'Spider' Gannon, a retired NYPD detective and supervisor.
