Presumed dead former CIA agent Reese and billionaire software genius Finch join forces as a vigilante crime-fighting team. Using a program that employs pattern recognition to determine individuals who will soon be involved in violent crimes, they are able to combine Reese's covert operations training and Finch's money to stop crimes before they happen. Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson also stars as NYPD homicide detective Carter, who becomes involved in Reese's investigations.
