When a member of law enforcement is brutally murdered in an execution style at his home after a wild party – and his wife and child vanish – the Vegas CSI team up with their counterparts in Miami in a race against time to find them before the worst can occur. Catherine and Warrick go to Florida when the 7-year-old girl is found alive near an access road in Miami, and soon it becomes apparent that the victim may have been murdered by a serial killer.

Grissom doesn't share any lines or scenes with any of the Miami team. This is because William Petersen was against CSI spin-offs and asked the producers of CSI not to put him in any scenes with the Miami cast.
While Horatio and Catherine are investigating a limo driver who was possibly involved in a set of murders, the driver says he was "Picking up the Corwins" at the airport. This could possibly be a reference to Jeff Corwin, a herpetologist, who was featured in a future episode of CSI: Miami.
The CBS network and CSI producers decided to create the spin-off series CSI Miami (& later CSI: NY) because they wanted to beat other potential CSI copycat shows to the punch.
