The announcement of a wedding should be cause for celebration, but for the friends of newly engaged soap opera star Julia Baskin and ad exec Graham Everett, it seems to spark nothing but angst and seismic relationship shifts. "Pieces of Eight" gives us a funny, smart, heartfelt glimpse into the romantic relationships of a tight knit circle of twentysomething friends who have come to a critical juncture and must make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.

In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The district attorney's office then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make New York a safer place.

The third installment of the “Law & Order” franchise takes viewers deep into the minds of its criminals while following the intense psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve its crimes.
