While investigating a major meth laboratory, Charlie and Megan recover a hard drive belonging to the primary meth distributor. Unfortunately, the disk had been badly damaged by the explosion of the meth lab. In spite of that - and luckily for the investigators - in many cases it is still possible to recover data on a badly damaged drive by making use of a computer's built-in redundancy in data. Essentially, even large portions of the files on a drive are lost or erased, because of symmetry and redundancy in most modern data storage, Charlie had a chance!
