Episode 2 of Season 1 of the series begins with the prison ship, the Hemlock, traveling through space with the cargo of female prisoners bound for the new planet called Arcadia.

The main character is Ash Harper, a rogue police officer, who was wrongfully accused of the murder of her partner and is now one of the prisoners on board. In the first episode, she clashed with the prison’s captain, Nathaniel, who is determined to maintain strict discipline and order on board.

In this episode, the new inmates undergo a brutal initiation at the hands of the Hemlock's security staff, including Ash’s former colleagues and an AI named Zalika. While she struggles to complete the tasks assigned to her, Ash also discovers that something is not right with her fellow prisoner Tula.

Meanwhile, on the planet Arcadia, the head of the CLAT, the governing body of the new colony, Chancellor Marden, is determined to suppress any dissent and maintain his power. He meets with a man named Reith, who possesses an artifact from the old Earth that could cause trouble for Marden’s regime.

Back on the Hemlock, Ash tricks one of the guards into revealing that Tula may not be who she says she is. Ash also finds a way to hack into the ship’s security cameras and discovers a secret meeting between Zalika and Nathaniel. The two are planning to hand over a group of prisoners to a group of Orion pirates in exchange for a valuable substance called Beryl, which is used to power the ship.

As the situation on board the Hemlock escalates, the prisoners begin to organize and plot their escape. But with the ship's AI and security forces working against them, they must be careful not to get caught.

In the end, the episode builds to a tense climax as Ash and Tula attempt to break into the ship's control room to stop the handover to the pirates. With time running out, they must think quickly and act decisively if they hope to escape alive.
