"I can't stand being in the same room as you, you know that?" "Then get on your knees." You're a budding politician, making a name for yourself as one of the youngest Representatives from Virginia to run for Congress. Unexpectedly, your campaign falters, and you need to do everything you can to win back your popularity. With the public's eyes on you, you're dead set on reforming the FBI and making a name for yourself. So, when you're given the chance to work with the Behavioral Analysis Unit for the rest of the year to build a political report that can secure your candidacy and maybe even help the BAU, you're met with open arms by the team. That is, by everyone but SSA Aaron Hotchner - a man who despises your play of politics, who despises everything he thinks he knows about you. But when you're framed for murder, how willing is he to put those differences aside?

Professor Hotchner's criminal law class has a reputation. Professor Hotchner has a reputation. On your first day, you manage to draw his anger. He seems to hate you. What happens behind closed doors... that's a different story.
