Walter O'Brien (Elyes Gable) is one of the smartest men in the world who comes to understand that genius is not all it's cracked up to be when the most difficult thing to learn is how to fit in.

Paige Dineen (Katharine McPhee), who has a young, gifted son, translates the world for the Scorpion team of socially awkward geniuses. This puts these nerdy masterminds in the position to apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation's crises, while also helping each other learn how to fit in.
