Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) must face the most baffling - and gruesome - case of their careers. While cracking caseloads full of underground extremists, sexual fetishism and charred corpses, the duo relies on Brennan's uncanny scientific ability, Booth's infallible instincts and a brilliant investigation team known as "squints." Now, in the thrilling Season Three of Bones, Brennan and Booth must uncover the shocking truth behind a centuries-old secret society and stop the Gormogon Killer... before it's too late!
