Plot Synopsis

An elite team of agents within the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) uses unconventional methods of investigation and aggressive tactics to capture the nation's most nefarious criminals. Unit chief Special Agent Sam Cooper is a mentally and physically fierce natural leader who is not afraid to put his career on the line in order to stand by his convictions. Cooper strives to avoid political bureaucracy and has handpicked an eclectic group of profilers: Beth Griffith is strong-willed, outspoken, and the newest member of the team, joining them from the FBI Threat Assessment Task Force; Mick Rawson is a former British Special Forces soldier who is a confident, handsome, highly-skilled marksman; John 'Prophet' Sims is a street-smart, former convict who is determined to make amends for past sins; Gina LaSalle is an attractive, tough agent armed with a cunning sense of perception; and Penelope Garcia is a computer wizard who has spent years aiding Agent Aaron Hotchner.
