The series follows an elite team of FBI Special Agents tasked with investigating cyber crimes in North America. Based out of Washington, D.C., the team is supervised by Deputy Director Avery Ryan, an esteemed Ph.D. Ryan is a behavioral psychologist turned "cyber shrink" who established the FBI Cyber Crime division and heads a "hack-for-good" program, a scheme in which the criminals she catches can work for her in lieu of receiving a prison sentence. Ryan works with D.B. Russell, a left-coast Sherlock Holmes and career Crime Scene Investigator who joins the team after a stint as Director of the Las Vegas Crime Lab. Together, Russell and Ryan head a team including Elijah Mundo, Daniel Krumitz (aka Krummy), Raven Ramirez, and Brody Nelson, who work to solve Internet-related murders, cyber theft, hacking, sexual offenses, blackmail, and any other crime deemed to be cyber-related within the FBI's jurisdiction.

 

"Hack E.R."

Ryan and Russell investigate when a hospital is hacked and the lives of patients are threatened. Elijah, still benched from field work, is forced to remain in Washington, much to his chagrin. Meanwhile, Russell contemplates the death of his best friend, Julie Finlay (Elisabeth Shue), and his reasons for leaving Las Vegas whilst Avery remembers her daughter when a friend from the past surfaces.

 

"iWitness"

While Russell testifies in Las Vegas, Ryan investigates the murder of a hacker linked to a confession website. As the team begins to piece together the secret life of the victim, they learn that the crime is directly linked to a campus rape. Ryan begins a battle to hold the college accountable, listing herself as the complainant in a Title IX suit while the team comes face to face with the FBI's legal counsel.

 

"Python's Revenge"

Ryan and Russell are tasked with hunting down Python, Cyber's most notorious criminal, after they uncover a severed head in the Deputy Director's apartment. Python returns to kidnap Avery's surrogate daughter, Grace, making the team decipher a series of elaborate code-like puzzles in an attempt to save her life. Meanwhile, Russell helps Avery move and Ryan reconnects with her daughter's nanny before facing down Python one last time.
