The episode begins with Section 20 conducting surveillance on a suspected terrorist named Bakhram. However, things quickly go awry when Bakhram and his men discover that they're being monitored and they manage to escape. Stonebridge and Scott, who were part of the surveillance team, pursue Bakhram and his men but end up getting captured themselves. Section 20 learns that Bakhram plans to execute the two operatives unless they hand over a high-value prisoner that they've been holding.

Meanwhile, General Tahir, the man who hired Bakhram, meets with his superior, Latif, to discuss their plans for the future. Latif is impressed with Tahir's progress and tells him that he will be promoted if he is successful in his mission. Back at Section 20, the team is scrambling to come up with a plan to rescue Stonebridge and Scott. They realize that their only hope is to exchange the prisoner, which is a high-ranking terrorist named Latif, for the two operatives.

Section 20 manages to track down Latif's location and they launch a daring rescue mission. The team manages to rescue Latif and exchange him for Stonebridge and Scott. However, things take a turn for the worse when they are ambushed by Bakhram and his men. A fierce gun battle ensues and Section 20 is forced to retreat.

Back at their headquarters, Section 20 learns that Tahir and his men are planning to launch a major attack on a hotel in Islamabad. They assume that the attack is a diversion to distract them from their main objective, which is to kidnap a Pakistani scientist who is working on a deadly virus. Section 20 decides to split up to deal with both threats.

Stonebridge and Scott go to the hotel to secure it and prepare for the impending attack. Meanwhile, the rest of the team goes after the kidnappers. They manage to rescue the scientist and kill most of the kidnappers. However, one of them manages to escape with a vial of the virus.

Back at the hotel, Stonebridge and Scott are ambushed by a group of terrorists. Despite being heavily outnumbered, they manage to fight their way through and secure the hotel. However, they soon discover that Latif was their main target all along and that he has been kidnapped by the terrorists.

The episode ends with Section 20 discovering that the stolen vial of the virus is missing. They realize that the terrorists have it and are planning to use it for a devastating attack. The team is left scrambling to stop the terrorists and save millions of lives.
