Elliot Stabler returns to the NYPD to battle organised crime after a devastating personal loss aiming to rebuild his life as part of a new elite task force.
Stabler goes undercover as a big rig driver to expose an international smuggling ring; as he settles into his new identity, he gets to know the "working girls" and a pattern of disappearances emerges.
Stabler recovers from a grievous injury while Captain Olivia Benson oversees both his recovery and the still unsolved case of the missing sex worker, Sad Eyes.
After an attack on one of Carisi’s trials, signs of a new player in the New York City gang scene drive Stabler to contact an old C.I. from Italy and question the motives of their current ones.
