“File #1” Plot: Silicon Valley pioneer Paul LeBlanc (Slattery) built a fortune and legacy on the world-changing innovations he dreamed up. After discovering that one of his own creations – a powerful artificial intelligence called NEXT – might spell doom for humankind, Paul tried to shutter the project, only to be kicked out of the company by his own brother, Ted LeBlanc (Butler Harner). When a series of unsettling tech mishaps points to a potential worldwide crisis, Paul joins forces with Special Agent Shea Salazar (Andrade).
Meanwhile, Paul juggles his health and family life; Shea also focuses on a high-profile case; and Shea’s husband TY (Celasco) manages their son’s (Whitten) alarmingly close relationship with their “smart home assistant,” Iliza, as he experiences bullying at school.
