The series follows a team of forensic scientists and investigators who work for the Las Vegas Police Department's Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) division.

Other members of the team include Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger), a former stripper turned investigator; Nick Stokes (George Eads), a former football star; and Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan), a recovering gambling addict.
