The elite team of investigators includes Detective Michelle Wood, a homicide officer from Chicago with 13 years on the force; Detective Joe Schillaci, a 30-year veteran of the Miami PD with a background in homicide and undercover work, and fan-favorite from “The First 48”; and Kevin “Spider” Gannon, a retired NYPD detective and supervisor. With no prior knowledge of the crime or the verdict, Michelle, Joe, and Kevin will begin each investigation at a meticulously reconstructed crime scene and work the case, interviewing witnesses, forensic specialists, and other key players. The question is: will they come to the same conclusion as in the original case? Or will they uncover new evidence that the killer could still be out there?

Throughout the season, the shocking cases will take viewers all over the country in pursuit of justice. In Georgia, the team re-investigates the vicious double homicide of a father and son attacked in their home. When the detectives arrive in Ohio to re-open the horrific case of a young mother whose throat was slashed while her children slept nearby, they soon learn that she had been leading a double life. And in Texas, the investigators re-examine the brutal murder of a young art student whose case takes an unexpected turn that reveals a sinister plot for revenge.
