Plot
Detective Winston invited the player for a glass of wine following the events of Party Time. On the way back though, the player spots a body hanging from a tree. Upon turning back to get a closer look, they discover the body of businessman Tobey Bean, who was a suspect in Vice Grip. Immediately, Winston and the player conducted a murder investigation.

Upon autopsy, Cornelius reported that Tobey did not die from suicide, rather he was murdered. He estimated that after Tobey was dead, the killer placed his neck on the noose to make it appear he had hanged himself. He observed that the weapon used to crush Tobey's skull looked like something a brick would cause. He also found a very interesting clue; green nail polish on the back of Tobey's head, therefore the killer wore green nail polish.

A short time later, Winston received a call from Kaylee informing him that a bloody brick that been found in Tobey's mother's backyard, making her a suspect. She then informed that his mother's name was Lara and she would like to talk to the investigating officers. Upon talking to her privately, Lara said that Tobey had "a few enemies, but other than that, he was a good man." She revealed the names of his enemies, Kathleen Hart, a DJ, Charlie Montana, his colleague, and Sunny-Dream Collins, a junkie. Two minutes later, they sent the brick to Kaylee, who confirmed the brick as the murder weapon.

Upon talking to the three, Kathleen said that Tobey would steal her music and profit it as his own, Charlie admitted to being jealous of Tobey's millions, and Sunny-Dream claimed that he had had a baby with her and left halfway through the pregnancy.

Upon investigating Sunny-Dream's bedroom, they found ecstasy pills, which is illegal in Kanira. After arresting her for possessing illicit drugs, she was placed in a holding cell until the ecstasy pills could be further analysed, which came back positive. They also found a cell phone, which turned out to be Tobey's with a threatening message on it. "YOU GONNA PAY" They then sent it to Neal for analysis, which he found that the number was Sunny-Dream's. He also found more evidence, the killer used to hack, the killer has hazel eyes and is skilled at cooking. They interogated all four suspects they had collected so far, and they discovered the following;Charlie, Lara and Sunny-Dream are all skilled at cooking and Kathleen used to hack.

A few hours went by with nothing else to go on, then Lindsey called to say she had found the last pieces of the puzzle; the killer was female and they had one more suspect, Tyla Hamilton, Tobey's girlfriend. Upon talking to her, she appeared very distressed and heartbroken. Eventually, Sunny-Dream turned out to be the killer.

Sunny-Dream initially denied being Tobey's killer, but later admitted to the murder. She said that after her and Tobey's daughter India was taken off her for drug use, she sought revenge on Tobey for reporting it to the Child Protective Services of Easthaven. Judge Chamberlain sentenced her to 50 years in prison for third degree murder, neglecting a child and drug possession.

Toska thanked the player for "bringing a good man his justice." She then made sure there was no murders to be solved before Winston and the player could have their well-earned day off. With that, Winston and the player headed home.
