A JPATS plane departs Eielson Air Force Base, but crashes outside of Fairbanks. Among the 18 prisoners who escape is Havlock, recently captured as part of a CIA black op in Khabarovsk who was being transported covertly. Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick and his colleagues Donnie and Hutch investigate the crash site, but are forced to retreat via helicopter when prisoners attack them. Donnie later dies from his injuries. CIA official Bradford dispatches troubled agent Sidney Scofield to Fairbanks as part of a taskforce with the FBI to locate Havlock. She tells Remnick that she is Havlock’s former handler in the Atwater Protocol, a program to create false defectors who draw out enemies of the state to be terminated. However, before being captured, the agency was concerned his allegiance had switched. They confront a man believed to be Havlock, but after he shoots an FBI agent and is killed by a sled dog, Scofield confirms it isn’t him. It is revealed Deputy U.S. Marshal Granger, a supposed survivor of the crash hospitalised in Fairbanks, is Havlock. He escapes from the hospital, kidnaps Remnick’s wife Sarah and cuts internet and cell service to the area. Over a radio broadcast, Havlock tells Remnick his plans will change the world.

Havlock warns Bradford and Scofield he has set a 72 hour rolling authentication dead man's switch, and if he is killed the contents of Archive 6, a classified file detailing Atwater Protocol targets, will be released. The taskforce is joined by marshals from Seattle led by Steven Cole. Bradford’s superior tells her Scofield is suspected by the OIG of abetting Havlock, and gives her two days to bring them both in. Remnick’s son Luke, and his girlfriend Kira, find injured prisoner Issac Romero near the remote family cabin, but become trapped when their car gets stuck. Henry Sickler, an escaped underworld accountant, turns himself in to the authorities due to having previously been promised witness protection. Havlock demands he be handed over in exchange for Sarah, but it is a ruse to draw police away from an NTSB transport, allowing Havlock to steal the plane's flight recorder. Sarah stabs Havlock in a failed escape attempt. In a flashback, Scofield tries to recruit Havlock, who was previously a white hat hacker and lecturer on resiliency.
