Plot Synopsis

This procedural finds the members of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), led by David Rossi and Aaron Hotchner, investigating crimes not by focusing on the crime but instead studying and profiling the criminal. Each episode examines a separate criminal and revolves around a specific quote -- originally read by BAU Supervisor Jason Gideon but now the responsibility is shared by the remaining BAU staff. Other members include Special Agent Derek Morgan, an expert on obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid, a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau, the team's former unit liaison-turned-profiler who recently married her longtime love; Penelope Garcia, the team's indispensible computer wizard who helps research the cases with her unique charm; and the team's newest member, Alex Blake, who rejoins the FBI after a stint as a university teacher and brings her linguistics expertise to the BAU. Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.
