Dr. Daniel Pierce is a neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia. Due to his intimate knowledge of human behavior and the way the mind works, he is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Although he is brilliant, his schizophrenia causes hallucinations and paranoid delusions – sometimes, this helps him make connections is conscious mind can’t yet process, but other times, it leads him to behave irrationally and dangerously.
