A middle-aged couple is killed during a home invasion where nothing is taken from the brownstone where they lived. Which gives a big old mystery to solve for Jerry Orbach and Chris Noth. Definitely it's not your garden variety home invasion.
I can sort of relate to the perpetrator's mind set here. We certainly revert back to the place that has the most memories for us in our subconscious. In my dreams I constantly am back at my home in Brooklyn. There's an SVU episode where Jane Powell plays an elderly Alzheimer's patient who is caught breaking into her childhood home. The memories can be good and bad.
The memories are bad for Eddie Malavarca who was the foster kid of David Leary a prominent divorce attorney who used to own the brownstone. It's not also hard to figure alternative suspects as Leary made a lot of enemies in his line of work. Something Lennie Briscoe can relate to.
Malavarca is a multiple substance abuser so it's a question of how responsible is he under the influence. Some unique techniques are tried at trial to answer that question.
