Bones is a dark but amusing dramedy focused on a forensic anthropologist who has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones.
Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs, Dr. Temperance Brennan is called in to assist law enforcement with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless.
Brennan has been teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth, a former Army sniper who disagrees with using science to solve crimes. While Brennan and Booth clashed both professionally and personally at first, the chemistry between them has grown over time and made them a strong and trusting team.
