Limitless
Open your mind.
Created by Craig Sweeny
On CBS
A high-energy procedural-adventure hybrid built on the premise of cognitive enhancement, balancing FBI case-work with ongoing conspiracy and the protagonist's drug dependency.
Brian Finch's life takes an extraordinary turn when he uses NZT-48, a neuroenhancing drug whose mystery and chaos lead him to working for the FBI and a senator who is not what he seems.
