The series follows Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), a reclusive billionaire programmer, and John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a presumed-dead former CIA agent. Finch built a powerful AI surveillance system called "The Machine" for the government to detect potential acts of terrorism. However, the government ignored its "irrelevant" reports about ordinary people in danger. Finch and Reese operate from the shadows, receiving only a Social Security Number from The Machine and working to determine if the number belongs to a victim or a perpetrator of an upcoming violent crime.
