Each episode begins with a flashback scene informing viewers of the featured year it takes place. A set of characters are revealed in a seemingly mundane situation. The viewer is then shown the corpse of the victim as he/she was found. It is always one of the people introduced in the previous seemingly-innocent scene.

The show then flashes to the present day. The detectives of the Homicide Division of the Philadelphia Police Department are told that new evidence has turned up in an old case gone cold in several cases:

-New evidence has come to light;
-The victim’s physical remains have been discovered;
-A witness has decided to come forward, etc.

All or any of these cause the detectives to give the cold case a new look and begin researching the victim and interviewing their friends, acquaintances, and family.

The friends, family, co-workers, etc. who were introduced in the flashback at the beginning of the episode have aged (in one case, a six-year-old witness to the crime is interviewed by the detectives when she is 94). Gradually, the detectives gather enough evidence to determine the killer, who most of the time is then arrested.

At the end of each episode, the detectives mark the case solved, while an apparition of the murdered person looks on.

The problems in the detectives' personal lives are also featured, though the main emphasis of every story is on the victim and the search for the killer. Most notably, Detective Lilly Rush grew up in a severely dysfunctional, poverty-stricken home with an alcoholic mother.
