The third permutation of the "CSI" franchise sets up shop in the Big Apple, where taciturn detective Mac Taylor and his new partner, Jo Danville, lead a crime-solving team. Taylor, a retired Marine who believes evidence holds the truth that people may try to cover up, finds balance in Jo's empathy-driven investigative style. Their team includes spirited investigators like Danny Messer and wife Lindsay Monroe Messer, former coroner Sheldon Hawkes, and edgy detective Don Flack.

A death row inmate's final request brings Dr. Hawkes to a prison just as a riot erupts; Hawkes is forced to confront a tragic incident he kept secret for many years.

An investigation takes the team into the underground world of hardcore fighting.

Mac is determined to seek justice when a 14-year-old boy is shot in front of his 12-year-old brother.

While at home recuperating from an injury, Mac witnesses mysterious behavior that leads to a murder.
