Storyline

Suffering from amnesia and having arrived with blood on his badge, making him the prime suspect in an NCIS colleague's gun-murder, Tony has sassy therapy sessions with Dr. Rachel Cranston in between questioning by Gibbs. Told in flashbacks, Tony starts reconstructing his months of top-secret operation, reporting only to Secretary of the Navy Clayton Jarvis, who hand-picked him. Meanwhile Sean Latham, chief of the internal spy watchers, cleans up the mess with his man Casey Stratton, who poses as FBI agent. Written by KGF Vissers
