Dr. Mark Sloan is chief of Internal Medicine at Community General Hospital -- and sometime consultant to the local police department. When he's drawn into a case, he combines sleuthing and medicine to solve the crime. That crime is usually one his detective son, Steve, is working on as a member of the local police department. Dr. Sloan's medical colleagues, including doctors Amanda Bentley, Jack Stewart and Jesse Travis, are also frequently drawn into his investigations.

Mark steps in to care for a 7-year-old abuse victim who was the lone witness to her father's murder and has been left mute from shock.

A gorgeous woman who turned heads on the beach is found murdered, and Dr. Sloan's only key to the mystery is a blind man, who never saw the beauty.

Dr. Sloan's jury duty ends on a unique note when the defendant in the case is suddenly murdered after the verdict is read.

Dr. Sloan believes two police officers were victims of a serial killer and has no time to lose when Steve becomes the killer's next target.
