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 visiting her family's restaurant in the French Quarter, a Navy culinary specialist is the target of an explosion; in D.C., Brody tracks a lead in the Gen. Leak case.

NCIS teams with Homeland Security when the murder of a Navy master diver is discovered to be linked to the chatter concerning a foreign attack on the city.

The NCIS team discovers a mole in the ranks while helping the Department of Homeland Security locate 900 pounds of missing explosives that are a threat to New Orleans.

The team joins forces with several federal agencies to stop a sniper who has been targeting crowded events in the city; FBI Special Agent Tammy Gregorio begins investigating Pride's team.
