Criminal psychologist Malcolm Bright knows how killers think, because his father was a notorious serial killer himself. Malcolm helps the NYPD solve crimes while dealing with his manipulative mother, homicidal father and annoyingly normal sister.

As Malcolm Bright slips into the mind of a serial killer, he must also deal with the repercussions of seeing his father for the first time in years.

A drug-induced homicide forces Malcolm to rethink his fears. Gil, Jessica and Ainsley catch wind that Malcolm has been seeing his father again.

As Malcolm's childhood memories surface, he realises his father's killing spree may not have been a surprise to everyone in the family. Malcolm, Gil, Dani and JT hunt for a stalker with a creepy eye for design.

Malcolm searches the depths of his mind to unravel the mystery of the girl in the box, and discovers a secret about Dani's past that draws them closer together.

When Bright uncovers a photo of himself and Martin from when he was a child, he is forced to focus on the repressed memories from his childhood psyche. Jessica and Malcolm agree they must put a stop to Ainsley's idea of interviewing the Surgeon.
