Instead of focusing on the lives of the rappers and the events leading up to their respective deaths, Unsolved tells the story from the per view of the investigations conducted by LAPD in 1997 immediately following the death of B.I.G in Los Angeles as well as the 2006 investigation lead by a cold case task force after Violetta Wallace, the mother of B.I.G., filed suit against the LAPD.
With a number of theories surrounding the deaths, including gang retaliation and police corruption, this is the first time the stories of Pac and Big have been told from the investigative standpoint.
