There appear to be no signs of foul play, but there is also no obvious sign of a natural cause of death.The detectives are perplexed until the medical examiner notices a tiny pin prick on the lawyer s neck and theorizes that the man was injected with succinylcholine- aka sux - which is a common horse tranquilizer that dissipates quickly in the body.As Mac and Oliver begin to look further, they discover that the lawyer had sold his life insurance policy to a large viatical company. Then, they realize that more deaths under mysterious circumstances have occurred among those who ve sold their policies to the same company.
