Jordan Cavanaugh returns to Boston after a season away from home and takes back her post at the Medical Examiner's Office, under the orders of Dr. Garret Macy, who has to deal with her eccentricities. Although she isn't allowed to get involved in police cases, Jordan relies on her charm and on the reputation of her father, Max, a former cop, to get to the truth in every case. Max remains obsessed with the unsolved murder of his wife, and that memory weighs on his daughter. Jordan empathizes with the victims she examines, and together with Woody, Lily, Nigel and Bug she forms the team that works on every case.
