Synopsis

Set in sunlit Miami with a darker underside, CSI: Miami centers on an elite group of investigators who treat every scene like a puzzle. Lieutenant Horatio Caine leads with calm authority and a fierce sense of justice, coordinating detectives and lab specialists as they move from the first call to the final arrest. Calleigh Duquesne brings expertise in ballistics and field work, while Eric Delko and the rest of the team tackle everything from staged accidents and kidnappings to high-profile murders tied to wealth, nightlife, and corruption. The unit is both police squad and scientific lab, collecting fingerprints, blood spatter, fibers, and digital clues that can either confirm a suspect’s story or expose a lie. As evidence builds, the team navigates pressure from the media, politics, and their own complicated histories, relying on trust and precision to close cases.
