An old colleague working unofficially for the current government asks Wolfgang to work on a case. The previous government had peddled the notion of combining all border and customs services under one umbrella agency, something that the current government has quashed. However, some of those forces from the previous government are trying to resurrect the idea.

Wolfgang and Norman investigate into the handling of the supposed jihadi bomb threat that led to the death of Khalil Mustafa, the young Muslim man carrying the explosive. Norman is certain Wolfgang's mugging has something to do with the case, something Wolfgang doesn't believe. But as they talk to people involved, many inconsistencies in the stories arise, some which they know are outright lies.

Norman starts piecing together all the connections in the puzzle which he and Wolfgang know is a conspiracy of some sort, as Khalil Mustafa was not just a young jihadi intent on detonating an explosive in a public place. Beyond Wolfgang wanting Norman to continue to work on Sonya who he believes will ultimately provide some useful information whenever she is in a more continual lucid state.

The further Wolfgang and Norman get into their investigation - the latest discussion being a heart to heart with Detective Tanaka - the more they believe that the attempted bombing was orchestrated from within Canadian political institutions, with the end goal truly being for the bomb to be detonated.

Wolfgang believes he's discovered the identity of one of the major players behind the attempted stadium bombing, and with his identity a credible story as to what is going on. However, he needs more evidence, but as he gets closer to the truth those higher up try to stop him.

Norman and Wolfgang believe they may have finally gotten some pertinent information from who seems to be a semi-lucid Sonya. As such, they step up their surveillance on Michael Gary. In their pursuit of more specific information on Gary, Norman and Wolfgang may get themselves into a tight predicament.

Wolfgang believes he has Michael Gary's role in the attempted bombing figured out, and how he has been able to keep witnesses at bay. Through it all, Sonya goes missing, of which Norman is most concerned. He realizes that the effects of the drugs may have caused her to run from him and he fears for her safety from those who have been controlling her.

Norman is tenacious in his pursuit of discovering what happened to Sonya, not only for the professional reason of discovering the entire plot behind the attempted bombing but because he cared for her as the innocent victim. Wolfgang knows however that taking a lighter approach may serve their needs better.

Norman is determined to kill Michael Gary largely to avenge Sonya's murder. He figures it should be an easy enough task as Gary is a highly routinized man. Despite Wolfgang trying to persuade him even not to entertain the idea of murder, Norman takes some personal risks to pursue this thought, one such measure he believing to be poetic justice.

After testing the efficacy of the date rape drug on himself, Norman believes he has all the pieces in place to kill Michael Gary. As Gary himself seems to be getting close to the top of the chain of power, Wolfgang decides to meet with Gary to hear him out, even knowing that Gary's main motivation in doing so is only to get Wolfgang to cease his investigation into the attempted stadium bombing.
