'NCIS' is a police procedural drama television series, revolving around a fictional team of Special Agents of the Major Case Response Team from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the primary federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of the Navy, which investigates criminal activities involving the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps and their families. Based at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, DC, the 'NCIS' team was led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Scout Sniper, and a skilled investigator until late season 18. The concept and characters were initially introduced in two episodes of the CBS series 'JAG'.

However, Season 20 is here and Special Agent Alden Parker is still on the run with his ex-wife, the team investigates who from his past might have a personal vendetta against him in hopes of clearing Parker's name.
