The assault, narcotics and fraud charges against Patrick Jane have been dropped and it’s back to business as usual. Or business as unusual for Jane, who uses mind games, tricks and his super sharp skills of observation to solve the state’s most puzzling homocides.

Jane’s obsession with finding Red John consumes him every waking moment, drawing him outside the law and closer than ever to the serial killer’s true identity.

How far is too far?
