NBC offers this description of the new series:

“This dynamic and suspenseful thrill ride of a crime procedural follows a small team of investigators led by former FBI profiler Rebecca ‘Bex’ Henderson (Roxburgh). They’ve been assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous serial killers the world has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from the Pit, a top-secret government prison that’s not supposed to exist. As Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late, she’ll discover the one thing more twisted than the dangerous fugitives she’s chasing is the prison itself that they just escaped from, because the Pit wasn’t just a prison.”
