When the NCIS Origins team investigates a Marine's death, a faint sound in a basement leads them to a terrified, filthy girl chained to a pipe. Mike Franks becomes her unexpected protector as he and the rest of the team slowly earn her trust. From panic attacks and medical discoveries to her first meal in safety, Sadie's journey forces everyone-including Gibbs-to confront what justice looks like when the victim is a child who's never had a chance.

As Functional Neurological Disorder turns her own nerves against her, Ellie learns that strength isn't measured by endurance alone-and that the NCIS team, from Gibbs to Ducky, doesn't abandon their own.

When a joint case pulls NCIS into the orbit of Special Task Force prodigy Dr. Maya Quinn, they expect arrogance and inexperience-not a razor-sharp mind forged by illness, injury, and survival.

As Gibbs and his team push back against command to protect her, lines are drawn between duty and humanity-and Maya must fight not just to solve the case, but to live.

As secrets spread through the base and the boys responsible go into hiding, Kaya must find the courage to speak... before her silence protects the wrong people.

A routine day turns into a nightmare when Special Agent Nate Carter's daughter, Lily, vanishes outside her school.

When NCIS responds to the home of a missing Marine, they find something no one expected- a silent, broken little girl hiding in the dark. Barely breathing. Barely conscious. Barely six years old. She clings to Gibbs with the last strength she has left, and suddenly the case isn't just a case anymore. Her name is Hope. And she just chose him

When a classified cybercrime brings NCIS face-to-face with a pair of off-the-grid agents, nothing about the case-or them-is ordinary. Sixteen-year-old Rowan Hale doesn't speak. She hasn't since her father stole her voice years ago. Now a silent prodigy with a past no one dares to ask about, she communicates through her partner, Agent Marcus Vance, a man who's been her handler, translator, and the only person she trusts since she was eight years old. But as Gibbs and his team dig deeper into the case, they start uncovering more than digital footprints-pieces of Rowan's trauma begin to surface. Tony's curiosity, Ziva's empathy, and Gibbs' instinct for broken souls clash in the tense quiet she carries. And behind her stillness lies something darker, something that even Marcus can't always protect her from. Some codes can be cracked. Others live beneath the scars.

A routine crime scene becomes a nightmare when NCIS discovers a child-sized room untouched by time-and a photo revealing that the missing girl is Mike Franks' daughter.

Each clue brings them closer to Sophia... and to the men who wanted her silenced. Gibbs and Franks will stop at nothing to bring her home.
