Inspired by CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami is a drama that follows a South Florida team of forensic investigators who use both cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned police work to solve crimes.
Horatio Caine (played by
David Caruso), a former homicide detective, heads a group of investigators who work crimes amid the steamy tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami.
His team includes Calleigh Duquesne, a bilingual Southern beauty with a specialty in ballistics; Eric Delko, an underwater recovery expert who knows all the twists and turns of the Florida waterways; and Ryan Wolfe, a former patrol officer who specializes in blood and trace evidence.
Rounding out the team is Alexx Woods, the no-nonsense know-it-all coroner, and Natalia Boa Vista, the enigmatic DNA specialist.
Helping Horatio with cases is Det. Frank Tripp, a tough yet thorough police officer, and Tim Speedle is the well-educated criminalist who works in honour of his dead friend.
Together, they collect and analyze the evidence to solve the crimes and to avenge those who cannot speak for themselves - the victims.
