Centers on ex-CIA hitman and a scientist who team up to prevent crimes before they happen.
Plot : Mr. Finch (Michael Emerson), a mysterious billionaire, has developed a computer program for the government that predicts Terrorist threats to the US. The computer as a side effect of all the information it collects also happens to hold the identity of people connected to violent crimes that will take place in the near future. As this information is not seen as relevant, it is dumped from the system into a separate program file. However, this program file has its limitations; for example, it does not transmit whether the person will be a victim, perpetrator, or witness, nor when or where the crime will take place. Unable to stop the crimes on his own, Finch hires John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former Green Beret and CIA field officer who is presumed dead, to help stop the crimes from taking place.
The pilot episode establishes that Finch originally built the machine for the government as a means to prevent another 9/11-type disaster, but found that it was also predicting many "irrelevant" crimes. Finch built a backdoor into the machine that, before erasing the "irrelevant data" each night, sends Finch a list of Social Security numbers of people who will be involved in those crimes in order of occurence. Finch also reveals that the world thinks that he, like Reese, is dead. Finch made the choice of only transmitting the Social Security Numbers of the persons of interest so that if the backdoor is discovered, the government would have no clue as to what the numbers mean or that Finch is still alive.
