Shortly after retiring at the end of the previous series, Harry Bosch now works as a private investigator. He is asked to investigate a personal matter by billionaire Whitney Vance, namely, to find the woman he impregnated while in college to see if he has an heir. Meanwhile, his daughter Maddie is in training to become a police officer, but struggles with harsh training officers. Honey Chandler, recovered from her injuries, attends the trial of Carl Rogers, who attempted to have her killed, along with Bosch and Maddie. A mistrial is declared, and the district attorney decides not to try again, angering all three. Chandler goes back to work and is given the case of Jeffery Herstadt, a homeless man with mental problems accused of killing a respected doctor, who has confessed. She asks Bosch to look at the confession and testify about possible coercion, and Maddie convinces him to do so. After discovering the confession was indeed coerced, he does, but Chandler is shortly afterward shown DNA evidence found on the victim seemingly proving Herstadt's guilt anyway. Investigating for Vance, Bosch finds the woman is now dead, but intends to continue searching for the child. Vance agrees, but is later found unresponsive by his secretary. Chandler asks Bosch to help her get Rogers convicted, which he agrees to, but says they will do it "his way". Meanwhile, an earthquake damages Bosch's house, causing a city inspector to label it unsafe.

After Whitney Vance is revealed to be fine, his intended successor, Philip Corwin, worries about why he hired a private investigator, and expresses this to John Creighton, the head of Vance's security company. Chandler, despite struggling with the trauma of being shot, finds out how Herstadt's DNA ended up on the murder victim, and reveals it in court, causing the DA to drop the case. Afterward, Detective Gustafson, the detective in charge of the case, accosts her, and claims Bosch has undone everything he did with the badge. In his investigation into Carl Rogers, Bosch has Chandler convince Judge Sobel's daughter to file a wrongful death suit against Rogers. He also has his tech expert, Maurice "Mo" Bassi, plant bugs on Rogers' vehicles. Watching a deposition, he finds that Rogers may be affiliated with Russian mobsters, and discovers he is being tracked. He later overhears Rogers receiving a call from his financier, Simon Wakefield, that the Russians want to meet, which unnerves Rogers. Later, two Russians men kill a man who stole from their boss. In his investigation into Vance's child, he finds the home where the woman died, and discovers she gave birth to a boy who was adopted under the name Dominick Santanello. Meanwhile, Maddie screws up an arrest, but her training officer, Reyna Vasquez, covers it up when she manages to find where the suspect went, telling her she will take a chance on her.

He informs Vance, and Vance asks him to find out anything else about Dominick. He is followed from the meeting by another car, but loses it, before Mo informs him that Rogers is headed to a meeting with the Russians, and heads to the meeting. At the meeting, the Russians threaten Rogers and Wakefield to pay them 40 million dollars, which Rogers agrees to, but claims he will need time. They give him a week. Bosch eavesdrops, but is discovered and chased away, eventually escaping. After going to an old contact who identifies the Russians as brothers Alexei and Lev Ivanovich, high ranking Bratva members, he informs Chandler, and tells her the calls Rogers made while incarcerated were to a gas station in Bakersfield.

Bosch meets Olivia, and when shown Dominick's belongings, he finds a roll of film of a woman and a baby she does not recognize. He has it enhanced, and finds it was taken when Dominick would have been in Vietnam, and considers he may have gone AWOL to see the girl, who may have been his daughter. Olivia is later visited by two men from Vance's security company, posing as representatives of the Veteran's Association, and informs Bosch that they asked her if Dominick had any children. Bosch realizes he is still being tracked, and Mo informs him he is probably watched by a drone. When trying to report to Vance, he meets David Sloan, Vance's valet and butler, who tells him Vance is ill, and to report to him. He refuses, and asks Chandler to provide him with a lab to confirm Dominick's heritage. Chandler receives the case of Russell Barnes, who wants to sue the LAPD for wrongful arrest after being incorrectly identified by facial recognition software. She proves to the detective that Barnes is innocent. When the department offers a settlement of 1.2 million, Chandler wishes to press further, but Barnes decides to take the money. Meanwhile, Bosch and Chandler publicly serve Rogers a subpoena for wrongful death, and when the Russians find out, Lev threatens Rogers. When Rogers meets Wakefield and two other men at a diner, Bosch has his former coworkers Crate and Barrel listen to their conversation and follow them. They find the other men are Russ Pensak, who owns a supposedly abandoned oil refinery, and Leo Aslan, who owns a shipping company, and notice several tanker trucks entering and leaving the refinery. Bosch also listens to a recording of the conversation, where Rogers mentions having 48 hours. Bosch infiltrates the refinery and finds that they are stealing gas, and have set IEDs on the pipe.

Bosch bluffs his way out of the building by pretending to be a security officer doing a surprise inspection, and informs Chandler that Rogers intends to siphon more gas by installing a second tap when the pipe is shut down for maintenance. Using this information, Chandler attempts to intimidate Wakefield, but this exchange is seen by Alexei. He eventually decides to give up information, but is killed by Lev before he can. Chandler finds him dead and takes his phone, delivering it to Mo, who recovers the information on it, revealing that the new tap will be installed that night, as well as a blueprint called Plano. Realizing from the full conversation that the detonator for the IEDs is on Aslan's key fob, Mo and Bosch make a plan to detonate the pipe before they steal the gas by hijacking the detonator's signal, while Chandler contacts Rogers' lawyer Glenn Kading to negotiate a deal for the civil suit with Rogers personally. That night, Bosch is forced to approach Aslan face to face to hijack the signal, but they blow up the pipe before any gas is stolen. In a meeting with Chandler and Kading, Rogers receives a message that the pipe was destroyed, and Chandler offers him the deal to turn himself in for everything he did in exchange for protection from the Russians. Meanwhile, as Bosch continues to investigate Dominick, Vance is shown to be comatose, while Sloan interferes with Bosch's communications. Bosch tracks down a friend of Dominick to see if he knew if Dominick had children, and shows him the photo. The friend recognizes the woman, telling Bosch that she was a photojournalist, and that Dominick was in love with her. Later, after Bosch hears a news report that Vance is dead, he is contacted by Sloan, who tells him his services are no longer necessary. Hearing the same report, Corwin tells Creighton to stop observing Bosch. Meanwhile, Maddie helps the rape victim install a new security system. Afterwards, she has a talk with Harry, who tells her she needs to decide if being a cop is a mission or just a job. Inspired by this, she reviews an app the victim told her about on what is happening in the neighborhood, finding more reports of break ins through cut screens.

After finding Rogers has escaped, Chandler and Bosch investigate the two containers under the assumption that Rogers will use one of them to escape overseas. Chandler witnesses the Russians store Kading's body in one of the containers, then kill Rogers and seal both bodies in the container before leaving. Meanwhile, Bosch receives Vance's will, which names him executor and Ida as receiving 10 million dollars, and Chandler tells him not to tell anyone until he can confirm whether Vance had an heir. Paulina Calderon, a friend of Maddie, is shot during a traffic stop, and Maddie is told to help inform the family. When Bosch hears of the shooting and confirms Maddie was not the victim, he realizes who is following him, and confronts Creighton, who attempts to intimidate him into dropping his investigation.

At a restaurant, Bosch consoles Maddie over Vasquez' change in attitude. Leaving, he is followed by another car, which Mo confirms contains only one person. Bosch gets to his office and confronts his follower, Detective Renee Ballard, who demands files he seemingly stole of three similar murder cases, Filipino prostitutes called "The Flower Girls". Bosch reveals he didn't steal the files, but made copies of them, and Ballard says the originals are missing. Bosch realizes she needs them because another victim has been killed, and offers to give her his copies if she lets him on the case. Her superior instead orders her to serve Bosch a warrant. Chandler confronts Chief Hughes on giving Zorillo to the government, and Bosch sets up a meeting with Ballard, but is informed by Chandler about the warrant. When he meets Ballard, he tells her Chandler has issued orders for the case. Ballard brings the new file to his house and tells him about the similarities, confirming they were all done by the same killer. The next day, after reviewing the files, they wonder why there was a thirteen year gap between the new victim and the others, and consider the killer might have been a cop to have access to the files. Ballard leaves, planting a tracker on Bosch's car. Ballard's captain orders her not to reveal to Bosch the DNA evidence in the new victim's case, and tells her to arrest him when he crosses a line. Bosch and Mo book a date with a prostitute to talk to her handler, but Ballard stops them and warns him not to interfere further. Bosch calls off the plan and asks Mo to check his car. He tells Maddie what is happening, including that his mother was for a time unidentified like the victims, and she helps, finding that the same paramedic, Jeremy McKee was a first responder to two of the murders, including the recent one, and that he comes into the station frequently. Bosch asks Mo to look into McKee's background, and they bring Crate and Barrel in on the investigation. The next day, he informs Ballard, and she mentions the DNA, causing him to decide to move immediately. Mo plants a tracker on McKee's truck, but Ballard fails to get his DNA, so Bosch has Maddie and Vasquez do it, but Chandler tells them that DNA won't prove anything if he was the paramedic who checked the bodies. While Bosch and Ballard continue following McKee, Mo breaks into his house, finding the files, while McKee escapes when the battery in the tracker dies. Mo informs Bosch, and he and Ballard look for McKee in the neighborhood the murders occurred in. Ballard confronts Bosch about Mo breaking into the house and he defends himself by mentioning the tracker she put on his car. Mo hacks McKee's computer and finds the address he is headed to, and Bosch and Ballard arrive in time to save the victim. Later, they give the evidence to Chandler.
