A couple, originally from Kansas, travels to Miami for a romantic vacation. While in bed in their hotel room, they hear the couple next door making loud banging noises. The husband bangs on the wall and asks them to keep the noise down. The neighbor then blasts music as a response. The husband then calls the hotel manager to investigate. The manager enters the room and finds a couple laying on the bed. The woman wakes up and finds that there is a pool of blood next to her. She looks and finds the man dead and handcuffed to the bed.

Horatio is called in to investigate the scene. The woman, Christina Dodd, tells the investigators that she went to the bar to have a drink and the next thing that she remembered was waking up next to the dead man. She says that she doesn't know the name of the man. Horatio sends Christina to the hospital to be checked out.

Eric and Ryan investigate the scene. They determine the man was Steven Howell. They find broken glass in the room, but no murder weapon. They figure that Steven tried to get help by turning on the radio. They look at the handcuffs and figure that they were provided by the hotel.

The investigators talk to the concierge. He tells them that he got a call from one of his guests requesting him to come up with a box of sex toys. The concierge says that he went up to the room and gave a woman a pair of handcuffs. Eric calls Calleigh and tells her not to let Christina go.

Calleigh brings Christina in for questioning. Calleigh tells her that she knows that she ordered the handcuffs. She puts out a theory of her killing Steve then drugging herself as an alibi. Christina says that a few weeks ago she went out for drinks at the hotel. She ended up sleeping with a guy and after she was done, the man paid her five hundred dollars. Christina says that she never felt so alive. After that, she quit her job and worked in the hotel turning tricks. She remembers handcuffing the man and him telling her to let him go. The next thing she remembered after that was waking up next to a dead man. Calleigh then arrests Christina for prostitution.

In the lab, Tara Price sets up to examine Steven's body. The body rises behind her and she screams. Hanging out above her, Eric laughs and tells her that she has been pranked. Eric tells her that the body is in cold storage and that he used a remote control dummy to scare her. Tara tells Eric that he is tampering with evidence and tells him to leave.

Boa finds multiple skin samples under Steven's nails. She runs it through the database and finds that one of the samples belong to Audrey Yates, a woman with a record of prostitution. Horatio and Boa bring in Audrey for questioning. Audrey tells them that Steve was a tanning boy and rubbed lotion on her. Audrey says that she thinks that one of Christina's customers probably got mad that Christina was sleeping with another guy.

Calleigh finds that Christina had a semen sample in her vagina matching a ex-military man with a criminal record named Dan Becks. Tripp and Horatio visit Dan at his home. Horatio shows Dan a photo of Christina. Dan tells them that Christina is his wife. He asks if Christina is okay, and the detectives tell him that she is with them.

Ryan and Eric find traces of Ghb on the broken glass. Tara walks in the lab and grabs photos of Steven taken at the scene. Price leaves and Ryan is told that Tara didn't like their prank.

Calleigh meets with Tara in her lab. She tells Tara that Ryan and Eric like to tease the newbies. Tara tells her that they are making her job harder. Calleigh helps Tara position Steven's body according to how he was found in the pictures. Tara then fills the wounds with silicone in order to get a better picture of the murder weapon.
