A bright, ambitious, young FBI agent (Jonathan Groff) teams up with a gruff, but curious, veteran and family man (Holt McCallany) to reach a better understanding of why people kill by organizing recorded interviews with people who kill, an unprecedented and quite controversial concept, in the late 1970s.
