Daniel Pierce博士是一位专攻人类行为学的神经科学家，在芝加哥某大学里任教。他不仅对人类大脑的工作方式有着独特的见解，而且有一项独门绝活——他能够从他人不自觉的表情和下意识的动作中找出规律，从而洞悉对方说的是真话还是假话、想要隐瞒什么秘密。在本剧中，他将帮助联邦政府侦破一系列疑难案件。Daniel虽然是个天才，但和这个世界上许多天才一样性格怪异，不擅长与人交流——这多半和他对这个世界的「奇思妙想」和「另类观点」有关。更糟的是，他患有一定程度的妄想型精神分裂症，是个有严重人格缺陷的人。但Daniel不认为那是坏事，他甚至觉得自己的有些幻觉是天赐的礼物。某些情况下，那些幻觉能让他的大脑更好地工作，将他清醒时忽视的疑点「串联」起来。但另一些情况下，那些幻觉成了他最大的梦魇，导致他行为反常、失去理性，甚至对周围的人造成危险。Daniel的精神状况让他几乎交不到什么真心朋友，更不用说爱情了。虽然他也渴望得到友情，渴望有一个终身伴侣，但是现在……只有他最喜爱的音乐和复杂的纵横字谜能让他保持一颗平静的心。FBI探员Kate Moretti是一位年轻美貌的FBI女探员，也是Daniel曾经教过的学生。事实上正是由于Kate的极力推荐，联邦政府才考虑让Daniel担任「刑侦顾问」。和她的同事们不一样，Kate不仅能够容忍Daniel的怪癖，而且还能从他身上找到「优点」——Daniel奇特的思维方式常常能帮助Kate找到别人忽视的重要线索，从而在案件调查工作中取得重大突破。Max Lewicki在大学里待了九年时间，一共修习了16门主要课程，但至今没有拿到一个学位，被人戏称为「永远的大学生」。如今Max成了Daniel的教学助手，他就像是个「保姆」，必须时时刻刻确保Daniel不惹麻烦。Natalie Vincent是Daniel最好的异性朋友，智力水平与其不相上下。
