A dedicated group of forensic investigators at the Las Vegas Crime Lab works to solve often-grisly crimes in Sin City. Heading up the graveyard shift (an appropriate term in this case) is supervisor D.B. Russell, a "Left Coast" Sherlock Holmes who devours crime novels. Members of Russell's team include Julie Finlay, Nick Stokes, Sara Sidle (the team's moral compass), Greg Sanders and Morgan Brody. The investigative team works closely with Capt. Jim Brass -- a seasoned detective who is a protector of CSI -- Dr. Al Robbins -- medical examiner -- and quirky lab technician David Hodges. Previous leaders of the group include Gil Grissom and Dr. Ray Langston.

As members of the CSI team investigate an apparent hit-and-run, the case leads them into the world of aeronautics.

The team re-examines a 10-year-old murder/suicide case after the only survivor claims her father was innocent.

The team learns that the main suspect in a series of killings is being released due to a lack of evidence.

When a homicide takes place at a convention for people who collect macabre murder memorabilia, the CSI team members investigate.
