The narrative focuses on an elite team of special agents operating within the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Behavioral Analysis Unit based in Quantico, Virginia. Forest Whitaker stars as Unit Chief Sam Cooper, a veteran agent who returned to the bureau to lead a team of renegade profilers. Janeane Garofalo also appears as a member of the cast.
