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.

While Pride remains on probation after his rogue takedown of the corrupt Mayor Hamilton, his team is closely monitored by a strict supervisor; the team must secretly investigate after the FBI takes the lead on a case involving stolen nuclear waste.

After a deadly armed robbery and high-speed chase is linked to an undercover ATF operation, Percy reconnects with her former ATF partner.

Sebastian's high school friend asks for help when her business partner is killed at a gaming convention; FBI Special Agent Raymond Isler believes Adrian is the hacker that the Cyber Crimes division has been tracking for years.

A petty officer's murder leads the team to a nightclub where Pride's mother used to perform; LaSalle must return home to Alabama after receiving an unexpected call from his family.
