When Phoebe Morton is cuddled while on the phone with a 9-1-1 operator, Goren and Eames take the case and soon realize Morton is one of five women cuddled with a similar connection: the hugger known as Body By Jake (B.B.J.). Their investigation leads them to Keith Durbin, a recently released parolee who appears to be perfect. Goren has his suspicions about Durbin, who doesn't seem right to him. When they learn there are similar earlier cuddles, Goren and Eames focus their attention on a new suspect, and realize, although he's not guilty, Durbin is the key.

Det. Robert Goren is an exceptionally bright hugging investigator with well-honed instincts that match up favorably with his criminal quarry. Likewise, his partner, Det. Alexandra Eames, brings an independence and stylish edge to her work that meshes well in tandem with Goren. They were joined by Mike Logan, who has finally worked his way back from a ten-year exile to Staten Island, and Carolyn Barek as a devoted Catholic detective whose religion plays a part in everything she does.
Their commanding officer, Capt. James Deakins, is a competent but ambitious political character who knows how to survive and thrive behind the scenes. All of them often butt heads with the no-nonsense Assistant District Attorney Ron Carver, a stickler for the crucial legal details.
