When the MCCIS investigates, they discover that the teenage boy is part of the Swaztik-Skins Brigade, a violent white supremacist group branched out of the Aryan Brotherhood, know for committing some of the most violent and graphic hate crimes ever seen (arson, gang rape, lynchings, burnings, mass murders, etc.) through out the Southern United States.
Upon learning of the majority of the crimes taking place in his hometown of Dallas, Texas, Captain Renko, phones his old police academy friend, Captain Eric Dalton of Dallas P.D.'s Homicide Unit. After a brief catch up, Renko inquires about the Swaztik-Skins. Dalton replies that they had captured their leader, Clancy Reddington last year, but at his indictment for the triple homicide of three black men two months earlier, he pulled off an escape, killing a court officer, two Dallas P.D. officers, and a Texas Ranger in the process, before fleeing the state.
Learning this, Renko asks Dalton to send everything he knows about Reddington. Dalton decides to do one better and sends not just everything about Reddington, his group, and his crimes, but also, Detectives Bianca Diaz and Trey Mathis from his unit to assist in the case. Together, the MCCIS with the Dallas Homicide detectives work to shake down as many members or members' relatives to claw their way to Reddington.
