Two hooded men are about to be incarcerated in Federal Sensory Deprivation Prison No. 3380 when one of them suddenly breaks free. He is shot in the back and, believed dead, is left in a hallway on a gurney. When the attending guards leave, he revives and removes the containment shroud that saved him and a mask revealing himself as Declan Conners (Jason Cadieux). Back near the facility's deprivation tanks, the hood is removed from the second prisoner to expose Augur (Richard Chevolleau). Despite protests that he is the victim of some mistake, Augur is lowered into one of the tanks where he floats between life and death in an oxygenated fluid.

Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) and Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) meet with a holographic messenger sent by Hubble Urick (Frank Moore). The messenger conveys Hubble's request that they investigate the President's suspicions of abuses of power, including false imprisonment and infringement of civil rights inside the Executive Branch.

On the Taelon mothership, Zo'or (Anita La Selva), worried about the safety of his $3 trillion stash in gold, summons Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores). Zo'or shows Sandoval a video of a call from a Swiss bank executive interested in handling the gold. Although the executive identifies himself as Gustov Drexler, he is really Conners.

Using the Resistance lab's computer, Liam and Renee learn of the existence of a government-run Amoralist Taskforce and come across photos of several of their targets, some of whom have the number "3380" next to their names. They notice that one of the task force's senior members is Heather North (Larissa Laskin), a federal prosecutor who tried a case against Augur five years earlier. Liam and Renee visit the Atlanta Federal Annex, where they believe the task force may be headquartered. Renee waits outside while Liam enters the facility and is apprehended by North and several agents. After telling North of his search for Augur and the significance of the number "3380," he is confined to a cell and drugged. That night, Liam awakens dazed on the steps of the annex, but remembers catching a glimpse of Sandoval while locked up.

Sandoval meets with North inside the annex, having ordered Liam's release for fear of a potential investigation by the Taelons. Sandoval has recruited her services to investigate the Amoralist bank scheme that threatens Zo'or. Meanwhile, Liam uses the Resistance lab's computer to gain access to Sandoval's personal data files, where he learns that "3380" is a reference to the sensory deprivation prison. Disguising himself as a guard, he visits the prison and finds Augur. Before he can rescue his friend, Conners sneaks past security, pulls Augur from the fluid tank and escapes with him through a portal.

Back at his hideout, Conners tells Augur he needs his help to steal Zo'or's gold from the Taelon Mothership. Augur refuses, but Conners has equipped him with an electronic cuff that will inject a deadly toxin. The device is set in conjunction with a heart-rate monitor worn by Connors. If Connors dies, so will Augur.

Conners and Augur visit the mothership and engage in a brief shoot-out with Sandoval and a guard, before making their way to the deck where the gold is being stored. Moments later, Liam and Renee, having figured out Conner's plan to use Augur to steal the fortune, arrive on the deck where they find Conners disguised as Zo'or. When the real Zo'or appears, Liam raises his energy rifle but is told not to fire by Da'an (Leni Parker), who is standing adjacent to Zo'or. When he hears Da'an's voice, Liam realizes this isn't the real Da'an either, but Augur. Sandoval arrives and another shoot-out ensues, killing Conners. Augur falls to the ground, poisoned by the electronic cuff, but is whisked to the sick bay and recovers.

Meanwhile, Liam and Renee use the deck's portal to transport the gold out of the hands of the Taelons. They send it to Fort Knox where it can be used to benefit the smaller countries in the Atlantic National Alliance (ANA).
