VERA: A CERTAIN SAMARITAN (9 pm)
A young man is found dead with heroin in his blood and a stolen credit card in his wallet. But only when Vera learns details of his mother's life does a motive for murder emerge.
After a bus passenger witnesses one man attacking another on a highway overpass, a local cop arrives at the scene and finds nothing but a single shoe and small pool of blood. Six hours away in Portsmouth Docks, an unidentifiable body is discovered in the bed of a truck wearing the other shoe. Who is this John Doe, and how could his corpse have traveled so far without anybody noticing?
During Vera's investigation a family secret begins to materialize and it leads to drug abuse and robbery for which murder was the only way out.
