Beginning with a hostage situation (the gunman claims to be invisible), we meet Special Agent Ford Holden. Agent Ford is a struggling hostage negotiator who feels disappointed with the method and approach employed by the FBI in catching criminals.

In his search to devise better approaches, he goes back to college to study behavioral sciences. This brings him into contact with our second lead, Special Agent Bill Tench.

Fascinated by Agent Ford’s ideas, Agent Tench asks him to join the BSU (Behavioral Science Unit). This partnership gives Agent Ford the resources he needs for his hypothesis. Together, Tench and Ford interview violent serial killers.
