J Street (Melinda Deines) asks Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) to help her friend, Crash (Jeff Geddis), a computer technologist who has been charged with murder, but claims to be innocent. Liam begins his investigation with a visit to Detective Sam Nepps (Dean Monroe McKenzie), who informs him that Crash was arrested after the murder weapon was found-a high-tech knife containing an energy blade that had Crash's biochemical signature all over it.

Later in the interrogation room, Crash admits to Liam that he had become upset with Amp (Taylor Price), the man he is accused of killing, when Amp tried to take full credit for work they had done developing computer codes for a major corporation. Crash tells Liam that a Grim Reaper-like person invaded his dreams the night prior to the murder and told him to kill Amp. As the murder in his dream was identical to what happened to Amp in reality, Crash is convinced that the Reaper committed the murder and framed him.

Meanwhile, at Doors International, Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) tries to negotiate an exclusive contract with Janis Jakes (Fiona Highet), the developer of a new kind of computer hardware that allows its user to choose dreams. Learning of Crash's case from Liam and Street, Renee questions Jakes about the possibility of technology that would allow one to enter the dreams of others. Jakes is uncooperative, but her assistant, Speed (Jody Racicot), tells Renee that such "dream-surfing" technology is indeed feasible. As she finishes her negotiation with Jakes, Renee receives a surprise visit from her old boyfriend and business competitor, Ken Matthews (Paul Miller), who convinces her to go on a date with him.

Suspecting that the high-tech murder weapon may be Taelon in origin, Liam visits the Mothership to investigate the possibility of the Taelons' involvement in the murder. Da'an (Leni Parker) assures Liam that the Taelons are not involved. After watching the conversation on a security monitor, Zo'or (Anita La Selva) sends Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores) in search of this new dream-surfing technology.

The next day, Street tells Liam that she has acquired a bootleg dream-surfing device that must be positioned within 25 meters of its sleeping target. Liam reminds her that it still doesn't explain how Crash's biochemical signature got on the knife. When Liam meets with Detective Nepps again, he learns of three other murders committed in a similar fashion. Liam suspects they may be dealing with a serial killer who is employing the technology to make people kill on his or her behalf.

On her date with Matthews, Renee is furious to learn that he is merely interested in partnering with her to land Jakes' business. That night, Renee dreams about using an energized knife to kill Matthews. Like Crash, Renee's dream turns out to be real. She is arrested for murder by Nepps the next day.

Liam learns that Da'an has also been attacked by someone wielding an energy knife. Although Da'an escapes unharmed, the biochemical signature on the weapon is traced to Sandoval. Liam addresses Zo'or in Sandoval's defense, explaining that like the others, Sandoval was set up by the unknown assailant. Grateful for Liam's help, Sandoval informs him that he was able to find a supplier of amplifiers for the new dream-surfing technology and instructs Liam on how to find him.

Upon visiting the supplier, Liam learns that he sold his last amplifier to Jakes. Believing Jakes is the "dream stalker," Liam accompanies Nepps to arrest her, and Renee and Crash are released from jail. Renee, unconvinced that Jakes committed the crimes, decides to visit the supplier's warehouse herself. At the warehouse she finds Speed, who attacks her with a knife. She struggles to escape his grasp, but falls from some scaffolding and is knocked unconscious just as Liam arrives. Liam rushes her to the hospital, where she slips into a coma.

While in the dream state of her coma, Renee is again attacked by Speed. As he mercilessly chokes her to death in her dream, Renee's body begins to die. At her bedside, Liam realizes what's happening and rushes out in search of the real Speed. Liam finds Speed on the roof of the hospital with a dream-surfing device. Speed pulls a knife and rushes him, but Liam is able to overpower his attacker, stabbing him instead. As Speed dies, Renee awakens from her coma.
