Mindhunter

Synopsis

Late 1970s, the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Here serves Agent Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), an ambitious young man who desires to broaden the boundaries of forensic science. Ford has fresh ideas on how serial murders can be investigated. He asks the authorities to let him launch a research project to conduct interviews with already imprisoned serial killers and psychopaths. The aim is to understand their thoughts and hidden motifs with the hope of applying this knowledge to solve ongoing cases.

The innovation earned the attention of Quantico’s management, and Holden Ford, along with his partner Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), became the heads of the Behavioral Science Unit at the FBI Academy. Professor of Psychology Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), who transferred to Quantico from Boston University, provides invaluable assistance to the agents.
