But Gibbs has one of his famous gut feelings that she is innocent, and that there is more to the story and this mysterious project. Can Gibbs get the real story before they put away the wrong person? And will Genevieve's past play a critical role in these murders? Or is Gibbs fighting for and defending the wrong person?
