A futuristic crime drama conceived by Tom Rob Smith explores the impact of artificial intelligence on the American justice system through the eyes of FBI recruits in three time periods. In 2009, Ashley Poet (Kate Mara), Daniel Lennix (Brian J Smith), Hour Nazari (Sepideh Moafi) and Tayo Michaels (Brian Tyree Henry) are among the FBI's new intake and they begin training at Quantico. In 2023, the personal relationship between Poet and Lennix has broken down. She leads a major undercover investigation while he is tasked with spying on Nazari, who now operates on the wrong side of the law. In 2034, Tayo Michael is the incumbent FBI Director loudly advocating the increased use of AI to combat criminality. His determination to serve a new term with the agency puts him on an ideological collision course with Poet
