In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The district attorney's office then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make New York a safer place.

A heartfelt monologue of photographer Robert Zuckerman, who has worked extensively in film industry (he tells about one of his first jobs, which was to take production photographs of the Training Day with Denzel Washington, for which the latter won an Oscar) and made portraits of celebrities of the level of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Samuel Johnson and Bruce Willis. Later he found out he had APBD, the adult polyglucosan body disease, which is so rare and unexplored that its Wikipedia page doesn’t even have a counterpart in Russian. The film is made in order to spread information about APBD.
