After the recent death of a teenager by overdose, a record drug seizure along the Canadian border is a game changer for New York State's criminal investigation team. The detectives are relieved that the haul will never make it to the idyllic small-town streets of Alexandria Bay.   But drugs are still circulating, and the lab results confirm it: the cocaine that killed the teenager and the cocaine from the bust are not the same.
