Castle is a show that revolves around a famous mystery novelist named Nick Castle (Nathan Fillion). Nick teams up with a NYPD detective, Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), when one of Castle's superfans starts staging murder scenes from his book. Beckett is unhappy to have a civilian tag along with her as she unravels mysterious crimes, but realizes that Castle may have information and insight that she needs in order to solve the crimes. Castle, on the other hand, decides that he is going to base his new novel's lead character on Beckett, and determines to continue to work with her to research and develop that idea.
