Sometimes a small break can cause a big blow up. An ancient nuclear reactor has a broken fuse. Without the gang’s help, it’ll cause a nuclear disaster. But the only way to prevent a melt down is to invite trouble back into Scorpion, in the form of their former colleague, Mark Collins.

SCORPION, inspired by a true story, is a high-octane drama about eccentric genius Walter O’Brien, who was born and raised in Ireland, and his team of brilliant misfits who comprise the last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats of the modern age.

As Homeland Security’s new think tank, O’Brien’s “Scorpion” team includes Toby Curtis, an expert behaviorist who can read anyone; Happy Quinn, a mechanical prodigy; and Sylvester Dodd, a statistics guru. Pooling their extensive technological knowledge to solve mind-boggling predicaments amazes federal agent Cabe Gallo, who shares a harrowing history with O’Brien. However, while this socially awkward group is comfortable with each other’s humor and quirks, life outside their circle confounds them, so they rely on Paige Dineen, who has a young, gifted son, to translate the world for them.

At last, these nerdy masterminds have found the perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation’s crises, while also helping each other learn how to fit in.
