The synopsis for the first episode of season 11 of Fox's Bones has been released.

'Bones' Guest Star Kim Raver Embraces Her '24' Roots In Season 11

The season 11 premiere of Bones is titled The Loyalty in the Lie and centers on Booth (David Boreanaz) going missing. Meanwhile, Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is brought back to the world of crime solving through a personal case.

Here is the synopsis for The Loyalty in the Lie:

Are Cam & Arastoo On 'Bones' Going Through A 'Challenge' In Their Relationship?

"Six months after the events of last season, Booth, Brennan, daughter Christine and the new baby are seemingly living a dream life, a world away from the murder-filled life they left behind. But a case with close personal ties to the couple forces Brennan to become involved in the forensic analysis of the remains, and Booth mysteriously goes missing, prompting an FBI investigation into his whereabouts led by Agent Grace Miller (guest star Kim Raver), who works closely with FBI Agent James Aubrey on the case. However, tensions rise when Miller tries to investigate one of the team's own as the primary suspect."

Raver has only been contracted for two episodes, so this will presumably be how long Booth remains missing.

The synopsis continues by revealing that Brennan comes into contact with a member of Booth's family (guest star Dilshad Vadsaria).

Meanwhile, "squintern" Arastoo (guest star Pej Vahdat), "who has been filling in as lead forensic anthropologist during Brennan's absence, hopes the temporary position becomes permanent."

Bones season 11 premieres Thursday, Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
