Seriál se odehrává v roce 1979 a sleduje dva agenty FBI, kteří zkoumají mysl uvězněných sériových vrahů, aby dokázali lépe chytit ty stále vraždící.
Seriál se inspiroval knihou Mind Hunter: Inside FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit. Postava agenta Forda je založena na jednom z jejích autorů Johnu E. Douglasovi.
