Wolfgang has just returned to Vancouver after a stint in Hong Kong, where he covertly passed along some information to one of his operatives, and learned that there may be a regime change in the Red Mountain triad. The whereabouts of the current head, General Wu, is unknown, Wolfgang believing that he has long been hiding in Vancouver. Wolfgang passes some of this information in a debrief to Al, who in turn tells Wolfgang of a new person of interest, a Mexican prosecutor who is seeking sanctuary at a local church. They do not know why he is a person of interest. They are also unaware that a young woman named Eva, who is court mandated doing community service at the church, could play an importation part of what happens in this file. Without her knowledge of the reason, Wolfgang gets Kelly to help him in this matter, she who is desperate for any research that she could add to her list of publications, which have been few and far between of late. In their discussion, Al doesn't divulge ...

When Wolfgang learns that Daniel and Martha Gascoyne have been arrested in Asia on charges of espionage, his previous thought that he is being targeted as the leak within the secret service to push him out is strengthened, especially as he clandestinely met with Martha on his most recent trip to Hong Kong. Wolfgang, who knows his livelihood is on the line as it involves payment both to him and his assets, has to figure out a way to deal with this target on his back. Wolfgang's further belief that the "mythical" (in Al's eyes) General Wu is ill is indeed true, as Wing Lei is being groomed to take over the Red Mountain triad. On the Miguel file, Wolfgang, who did notice her and notice her being ever watchful, makes a proposition to Eva to be his eyes and ears in the church, which she may have trouble turning down if only because of her economic situation. Wolfgang also learns that Rufus, on his directive, has at least gone along with Dee's request to kill Vince in principle. Rufus may ...

Wolfgang is peeved at Al for not protecting him against their highers-up, as Al tells him it is ill advised not to attend an "interview" with one of those highers-up, probably about what Wolfgang knows about the Gascoynes and if he did indeed meet with Martha on his recent trip to Hong Kong. That meeting in Hong Kong is something that Wolfgang has vehemently denied up to this point, that denial which may be increasingly difficult to maintain as a story. Wolfgang provides Eva with greater direction on her surveillance at the church, that direction which may be increasingly more dangerous, especially if Eva's assertion that the "organ lady" being suspicious is indeed fact. In the process, Eva and Miguel to begin to form a bond. Conversely, Wolfgang comes down on Rufus for not providing enough information. Something that Rufus has not divulged to Wolfgang is the dead body, which is more difficult to dispose of than he would like. On this file, Dee steps up her actions in ensuring that ...

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, the agent now tasked with gathering ammunition to battle the idea. The previous government had used a bomb threat at the local baseball stadium eighteen months ago as a case to support the umbrella agency, the bomb threat billed as a terrorist threat. However, the current government believes that the former government may have been complicit in that threat to support the umbrella agency. Wolfgang decides to call in an old asset to work the file for him, that asset being a man named Norman. Beyond briefing Norman on the case, Wolfgang may have to hold his hands in more ways than one as Norman has a weakness for flamboyant young men...

Wolfgang and Norman continue their investigation 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 they investigating 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. Beyond wading through the stories to catch the lies that are said on purpose, they have find the holes in the stories to discover what some may believe to be the truth but aren't. In the end, Wolfgang may come a little closer to Norman's belief that there was a deep conspiracy orchestrated at the highest levels of authority. Meanwhile, Rufus has to take some control of the distribution of the drugs with Bennie's death. Some of Bennie's operatives, most specifically Shorts, don't fully trust Rufus, while Lana has to decide if she believes Rufus is telling the...

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, they begin to look into Mustafa as a person, an area which they have largely left unexplored so far, such as speaking with his mother. In the process of their talks with people, Wolfgang and Norman may have stumbled onto a major lead when one of the players admits to knowing that they are not "the insurance people" as they are portraying themselves to be and knowing more than what appears on the surface, those specifics which the person will not divulge until a deal is made for immunity. Meanwhile, Fergie makes his initial contact with Rufus, who outwardly does not take too favorably to being a ...

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. The only other explanation is that Khalil Mustafa truly was a jihadi whose plot was being monitored which led to he not being able to blow up the stadium. Norman decides to focus his attention on Sonya, which he does for more than professional reasons, the extent to which does not sit well with Wolfgang. Meanwhile, Rufus finds that getting Andre out of his life is not as easy as paying him off. He may also find that there are other unknown forces who want to see a drug war between the two of them. Rufus looks for some assurances as to Fergie's trustworthiness if he is forced to replace Bennie as his snitch. And Rufus also learns that some problems may be arising with respect to the movie...

With Fergie's help, 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, Wolfgang finds that Harry needs more concrete evidence than Wolfgang's current hearsay. Wolfgang will also discover that he must be getting closer to the truth as at least one higher-up in Ottawa is aware of what he's doing and, going through a third party is quietly pressuring Wolfgang to desist in his investigation. Separately, Norman still is spending time with Sonya both to help her personally, but also to find out if she truly does know something substantive about the day of the attempted bombing. He also figures that she must have seen something that day as mysteriously a "cousin" she didn't know she had has contacted her wanting to reconnect. Meanwhile, Sproule's life in its entirety is slowly unraveling as he learns some information about Lily, information which was ...

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. Rufus places a plan in motion to deal with two problems with one stone, and in the process begin a new business arrangement with Cosmo. And Sproule begins working on overcoming the obstacles in his career advancement. His actions may affect Lily, who has noticed of late that he has been cool toward her, and as such may have discovered her connections to China.

Wolfgang believes he has Michael Gary's role in the attempted bombing figured out, and how he has been able to keep witnesses, such as Sonya, 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 initial reaction of running from him, but he does fear for her safety in every way from those who have been controlling her. Meanwhile, Rufus and Cosmo enter into negotiations now that both Andre and Shorts are out of the picture. Rufus doesn't tell Lana the full nature of those discussions, most specifically the drug side of things and his role in what happened between Andre and Shorts, but he does bring her into the fold of the plan. Both Rufus and Cosmo know that Alonzo may be a problem as Andre's heir apparent and someone who was loyal to him. Sproule, Lily and Al each make their next moves in their personal/professional maneuverings, with some of those moves meant to be the last ones in their short ...

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 in everything that happened to her. Wolfgang knows however that taking a lighter approach may serve their needs better. Regardless, Norman makes one move after another in proving the tie of Michael Gary to the use of the drug to silence people like Kent, Sonya and Candy, most of those moves which don't sit well with Wolfgang but with which he may just have to go with Norman's flow. Wolfgang also learns from Harry his belief in Gary's end game, which wasn't even on Wolfgang's radar. Meanwhile, Sproule's dead body is discovered by a cleaning woman in the safe house. Sproule's death seems to be working in Al's plans as he is the obvious next in line for what was supposed to be Sproule's job in Ottawa. Al just has to be concerned that Detective Green, the lead ...

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, most days playing golf alone first thing in the morning on a largely secluded course. 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. Beyond the law catching up with Norman, Wolfgang believes a better tact is a frontal assault, albeit a slightly covert one, especially as Al's new bosses are considering Gary for the full-time role in Al's new job. As such, Wolfgang is trusting that Al is still an ally. Jimmy Wah's appearance poses more problems than Tony was anticipating. Tony places Rufus between a rock and a hard place with regard to this matter. In his business relationship with Frank Cosmo, Rufus tries to convince Lana to play a key role in the new organization, that role which is ...
