Plot Synopsis

There are hundreds of thousands of suspicious deaths in the U.S. every year. When there is nowhere else to turn, families and law enforcement count on forensic pathologists for answers. Part detective, part physician, and part advocate for the dead, pathologists work closely with investigators to crack the highly questionable cases. Using the autopsy and clues from the victim's own body, they'll uncover how the victim died and if it truly was an unfortunate event -- or something far more sinister. Each one-hour episode focuses on a different case and a different pathologist. In the series opener, "Unholy Man," after a beloved Pastor's second wife is killed in a tragic car crash, it raises suspicions over the death of his first wife. Her death never sat easy with distinguished pathologist Dr. Wayne Ross, who is eager to re-open the older case he never forgot.
