Agent Dwayne "King" Pride has a team out of New Orleans' NCIS field office that is investigating crimes that affect military personnel. He's a local guy with a drive to do the right thing and leads agents Christopher LaSalle -- who plays almost as hard as he works -- and former ATF agent Sonja Percy -- who finds being a part of a team an adjustment after years of working undercover assignments on her own. Eccentric coroner Dr. Loretta Wade supports them on cases. Together, they delve into the dark side of the colorful city that's a magnet for servicemen on leave.

NCIS investigates the disappearance of a Navy entomologist after a deadly shooting at a research lab; the team finds that a rare and deadly virus was stolen.

Pride and the team reunite with conspiracy journalist Oliver Crane after the source for his latest story is murdered; Hannah's former partner, Liam Somers, surprises her and shares a shocking revelation about an old case.

The team investigates multiple murders tied to a construction company that creates an experimental chemical that strengthens sea walls; evidence from Hannah's previous mission in Oman is used against her.

After an elusive terrorist with a personal vendetta against Hannah resurfaces, she and her family are placed in protective custody while the team searches for the suspect.
