A smuggler named Gonsalves (Diego Fuentes) lands an inflatable motorboat on a beach and makes his way to an archeological site. He begins digging and finds a knotted rope, an amulet, two small idols and a polyhedron that begins to glow in his hand. Alerted by a metallic clank, Gonsalves escapes from the Security Patrol Sentry and races to the motorboat with the loot. Later at the Rizzori Gallery, Companion Protector Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) investigates the authenticity and origin of these very objects. Sandoval (Von Flores) gives U.S. Customs Agent Carl Praeger (Shawn Lawrence) 24 hours to complete his investigation of the smuggled artifacts before he takes possession of them. Liam leaves the showroom and sees Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) who has been sent by Doors International to look into the possibility of these objects being of Taelon origin.
Liam and Renee decide to remove the artifacts that night, before Sandoval can claim them.

Liam enters the gallery and Renee acts as a look-out in the back alley. A guard making his rounds approaches Liam, and Renee fails to set off the decoy firebomb outside, forcing Liam to pepper spray the guard. Liam grabs the box of artifacts and makes a speedy exit. Later, Augur (Richard Chevolleau) confirms the polyhedron and the idol are of Taelon origin and identifies the tangled rope as an Inca Quipu.

Zo'or (Anita La Selva) and Da'an (Leni Parker) order Sandoval to retrieve the polyhedron because they believe it could be the link between humanity and the Taelons that the Taelon scout Ma'el left behind. Meanwhile, in exchange for immunity to smuggling charges, gallery owner Vera Rizzori (Ramona Milano) tells Liam that Customs Agent Praeger is her silent partner and Gonsalves is the name of her artifact supplier. Liam goes to search Praeger's office and is attacked by Gonsalves. Renee steps out of the shadows and demands Liam's release. Gonsalves flees and Renee intentionally lets him go.

Later, Augur pinpoints Rio La Yapana as the source of the smuggled artifacts and Liam and Renee depart for the exotic locale. They make their way through a fisherman's shantytown and spot Gonsalves. Sandoval's shuttle lands and Liam goes after Gonsalves while Renee stays with Sandoval. Liam and Gonsalves fight in the market, but Gonsalves lands on his own knife, killing himself. Liam attempts to contact Renee, but she ignores his call.

Liam continues the search for the Taelon site and discovers a dim chamber full of ancient equipment. He begins to record the items in the chamber on his global, but he stops when he hears a weapon being cocked. Liam turns around and comes face to face with Renee, a scientific team and Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen). Renee tells Liam that she purposely tried to prevent him from finding Ma'el's ship and Doors tells him that it is imperative that the Taelon technology stay in the hands of humans. Doors also tells Liam that he discovered Ma'el's ship years before the Taelons landed on Earth. Doors, Liam and Renee agree to work together. Liam goes to the Mothership and gives the polyhedron, the only Taelon artifact found at the site, to Da'an and Zo'or as a memento of Ma'el's visit to Earth. Sandoval confirms great finds of Inca relics during his search at the ancient site, but regrets to inform that he found nothing of Taelon ancestry.
