The team is called in to investigate the murder of a man and the kidnapping of his wife. The wife has no memory of the events, but Dr. Bergman links the current case to several unsolved murders. Detective Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin), a adorned Naval officer turned cop, returns to Oahu to investigate his father's murder and stays soon after Hawaii's governor persuades him to head up the brand new crew: his guidelines, her backing, no red tape and full blanket immunity to hunt down the largest "game" in city. Joining McGarrett is Detective Danny "Danno" Williams (Scott Caan), a newly relocated ex-New Jersey cop who prefers skyscrapers to your coastline but is committed to maintaining the Islands safe for his 8-year-old daughter; and Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim), an ex-Honolulu Police Detective wrongly accused of corruption and relegated to a federal protection patrol, that is also a former protégé of McGarrett's father. Chin's cousin, Kono (Grace Park), is really a beautiful and fearless native, fresh from the academy and keen to determine herself among the department's elite. McGarrett vows to provide closure to his father's case although the state's brash new FIVE-0 unit, who might spar and jest among on their own, is determined to remove the seedy elements through the 50th state.
