NCIS details the experiences and stories of a team of special agents who work for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). The team, called the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) primarily responds to high-visibility crimes; NCIS is the main federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of the Navy, investigating Navy- and Marine Corps (USMC)-related criminal activities (e.g. deaths, force protection, treason, etc.), as well as their associated branches of government.

"Royals & Loyals"

The team is involved in an international incident as they investigate the murder of an American petty officer whose case is connected with a Royal Navy ship. Complications ensue when someone tries to get the ship to depart before NCIS can properly investigate. They discover that the murder was over a large amount of stolen CIA money, used to pay off warlords and dictators in Afghanistan. At first, the team suspects that the Royal Navy liaison officer is responsible, but quickly find out that he is actually an MI6 agent who was framed for the theft.
