Synopsis of Criminal Minds

A team of criminal profilers from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit works out of the Quantico, Virginia headquarters. Their job is to build psychological profiles of killers and of the scenes they leave behind. When the perpetrator of a crime is unidentified, they call them an «unsub» or «UNSUB,» short for unknown subject. The agents, led by Aaron Hotchner, played by Thomas Gibson, study each case to anticipate the criminal's behavior and help capture them. Created by Jeff Davis and aired on CBS, the series follows investigators from various branches of criminology as they hunt their targets before they strike again.
