Premise
Led by Special Agent in Charge Dwayne Cassius Pride, a former sheriff's deputy, the New Orleans NCIS office handles cases from the Mississippi River to the Texas Panhandle. Living and working out of his office, Pride heads a small team consisting of Special Agent Christopher LaSalle, Special Agent Meredith Brody, and Special Agent Sonja Percy. LaSalle, who was recruited by Pride from the sheriff's office, is a ladies' man who lives and breathes law enforcement; Brody, a transfer from the Great Lakes field office, has worked as a Special Agent Afloat and is keen to leave her past behind as she moves to New Orleans; Percy is a former ATF agent and the team's newest member who wants something more permanent than undercover work. The team are assisted by Dr. Loretta Wade and Sebastian Lund, forensic investigators assigned to the Jefferson Parish Medical Examiners Office, and Patton Plame, an NCIS computer specialist and freelance agent.
