A party for the new elite is in full swing at pro-Taelon Senator Edward Gale's (Bruce Gray) posh Washington home when his daughter, Eva (Patricia Zentilli) appears with a gun. She fires, wounding him in the arm before his security guards can subdue her.

The next day, Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) and Renee Palmer (Jane Heitmeyer) meet with a holographic messenger sent by Hubble Urick (Frank Moore). He informs them of the shooting and tells them Eva is in the hospital, having tested positive for Kryss, a substance used by Taelons in small quantities to help them adapt to Earth's atmosphere. Liam is surprised and angry, as the Taelons' Kryss facility was shut down eight months before and the Taelons swore they found a way to synthesize Kryss without enslaving humans. Yet Eva, whom the messenger tells them disappeared three weeks before to take part in an archeological dig, must have been enslaved in a Kryss factory to have traces of the substance in her bloodstream. Liam and Renee must prove the factory is still operating.

When Liam visits Eva in the hospital, she tells him that she can't recall anything prior to her father's party. However, she does admit that no drug induced her to shoot her father. She hates him because of his involvement with the Taelons. Her father loves the Taelons because they've made him rich and he regularly leaks information to the Volunteers. Liam shows Eva a sample of Kryss, which triggers fleeting memories of her and other humans being rounded up by a group of Volunteers wielding "stun sticks." While Eva is unable to tell Liam where the Volunteers took her, she remembers enough detail to sketch a drawing of the location.

Back at the Resistance lab, Liam and Renee determine that Eva has drawn the Freedom Space Station, which was about to be de-orbited when Gale got Congress to sell it to rogue Russian businessman, Mikael Federov (Garwin Sanford), at a bargain price. Suspecting Federov is operating the Kryss factory in space, Renee visits Federov at the Freedom Station, which is officially being used as a holographic training ground for Volunteers, but is refused a tour by Federov. As he leaves Renee, Federov enters a room in another part of the station, where he meets with a mysterious Taelon who is addicted to Kryss. Federov hands over a vial of the substance in exchange for gold.

Liam checks with J Street (Melinda Deines) to find out what happened to the others who were part of the archeological team in Palestine. She learns that of the 12 members, eight are believed dead although no bodies were found, and the other three were strung out on drugs like Eva. When Liam contacts the last member of the team, Lucas Walker (Paulino Nunes), a sanitation engineer in Detroit, Walker verifies Eva's tale of being abducted by Volunteers. Meanwhile, Renee disguises herself as a Volunteer and returns to the space station, where she finds a Kryss lab and catches a glimpse of Federov and the mysterious cloaked figure who turns out to be Da'an (LeniParker). Renee's surprise is cut short when an alarm sounds and guards try to apprehend her, but she escapes.

When Liam confronts Da'an about his addiction, he falls unconscious, suffering a toxic reaction to an overdose of Kryss. After getting Da'an medical attention, Liam is contacted by Eva, who escaped from the hospital and found her way to the Fringes, a rough part of town. Convinced she is being followed, Liam, Renee and Street hurry to her rescue, arriving just as two thugs are abducting Eva. A gunfight ensues and Eva is able to break free. She tells Liam that she now remembers everything that happened to her.

Liam returns to see Da'an, providing him with synthetic Kryss and reminding him that, as an addict, he can't ever use real Kryss again-or it will eventually kill him. Meanwhile, Renee returns to the space station where she encounters Federov and Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores) and triggers a security alarm. The two men take cover in the Kryss lab, where Sandoval sees the substance and the gold Da'an has been offering as payment. Federov tells him of Da'an's addiction.

At the Gale's home, Liam and Eva tell Gale what they have discovered, and inform him the Attorney General is expecting his surrender that afternoon. The politician complies and is charged with influence peddling on behalf of the Taelons.

Armed with the knowledge Da'an is addicted to Kryss, Sandoval pays him a visit and teases the Taelon with a vial of the substance.
