Undercover federal agent and expert puzzle solver Cathy Davis, aka Jane Doe, has been called in to find the motive behind an inexplicable murder of a fellow agent. The victim was Alana Devlin (Caroline Williams, NYPD Blue), polished, professional, and well-liked. The man who pulled the trigger was her protégé, Roy Baxter, an otherwise exemplary, well-adjusted, up-and-coming junior agent with no recollection of the unfathomable crime. There’s no question he did it. Cathy just wants to know why. The only thing her investigation yields is a recently-assigned change in Baxter’s work routine: watching hours upon hours of surveillance videos. The Feds call it Data Mining Protocol. Cathy calls it a clue.
Involving statistics, computational techniques, and pattern recognition, DMP taps into the sub-conscience of the agent through a hypnotherapy training session enabling the recall of thousands of faces, details, and names on sight—an indispensable talent for weeding out terrorists. Cathy suspects that the man behind the mind-control mission has ulterior motives—and that certain stimulus or suggestions could persuade an agent to do just about anything. That includes committing murder. There’s only way for her to find out—by undergoing the training session herself. Where it leads is to a global conspiracy that leaves Cathy to wonder who the next killer is, who the next victim is, and who is now in control of her own mind.
Hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as “one of the smartest new series on the airwaves,” Jane Doe now plunges its intrepid heroine into the most brain-teasing and dangerous assignment of her career.
