What Season 1 of Knight Rider
Twenty-five years after the original series, Mike Traceur dreams of becoming a race car driver and takes the wheel of the new generation of KITT, a Ford Shelby GT500KR. He works at Knight Industries, a company contracted by the government and law enforcement, within a secret research and development unit. There he shares missions with Sarah Graiman, his former girlfriend and the daughter of the car's creator. Their superiors are NSA agent Alex Torres and FBI agent Carrie Rivai. Every case demands Mike's expertise and the technology of a vehicle capable of almost anything. In the first episode, the mission takes a turn when people appear who claim to know him, and whom he doesn't remember at all.
