MUMBAI: From next month US broadcaster Fox will air the crime drama The Inside.

The show follows the FBI's Los Angeles-based Violent Crimes Unit (VCU), a rogue division led by the enigmatic Virgil "Web" Webster" (Peter Coyote).

He is not above placing his agents' lives at risk to solve the city's most physically threatening and psychologically damaging serial crimes. After the death of one of the team's profilers, Webster recruited the young and inexperienced Rebecca Locke (Rachel Nichols) to join the squad. Unbeknownst to Locke, Web hired her because he knows the secret she carries  as a child, Locke was abducted and held for 18 months before she escaped her kidnapper. Web feels that Rebecca's traumatic past allows her particular insight into the mindsets of villain and victim alike.

In the first episode titled The Loneliest Number the VCU team investigates a series of suicides. They discover them to be murders linked to a suicide hotline. Meanwhile, Paul (Jay Harrington) suspects that Web's influence over Rebecca is growing stronger and may lead to fatal consequences.
