A US special ops team is being directed remotely via video link by Rebecca Ingram, the director of the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU). Eric Carter is leading the team in the field, among his soldiers being Ben Grimes and Philman. Their mission is to capture terrorist Ibraham Bin-Khalid, who they want alive. Via helicopter, they are being dropped behind enemy lines. They have to blast their way into the compound where Bin-Khalid is purported holed.

Rebecca's day, in chronological order, is to attend: the ceremony where she will receive the Congressional Medal of Honor as the former national CTU chief, the award largely due to a CTU special ops ranger force having killed terrorist Ibraham Bin-Khalid during her tenure; a meeting with Keith in that continued transition of CTU head to him, her hand picked choice as her successor; then a fundraiser for John in their new family priority of his career and his run for the White House. The schedule takes a turn when she, while at CTU, receives an urgent and secret call from Eric informing her that he was just under attack by associates of Bin-Khalid who were looking specifically for a strongbox that belonged to Bin-Khalid that was stolen during that mission. Eric and Nicole were able to escape from and kill their three attackers. Based on events of the morning, Eric assumes that all the other surviving special ops ranger team members and their families have been killed today, with the exception of Ben, who he further assumes is the one who stole the strongbox. Beyond locating Ben, Eric and Rebecca have to find out who among those in the know gave up the team, only a handful of high ranking American officials who are in the know of their new identities and whereabouts, including Keith. As such, Rebecca has to decide who she can trust, at this specific moment that not including Keith, while she clandestinely uses CTU resources to assist Eric. Eric still has to decide what to do with Nicole, he turning to a less than ideal choice of a person who can keep her in hiding. Meanwhile, Drew, a student at Pershing High School, somewhat reluctantly informs his teacher, Mr. Harris, that he believes fellow student, Chechen immigrant Amira, his former girlfriend, has some dangerous terrorist associates based on texts of hers he saw, this information which Mr. Harris is required to pass along to the school principal. This chain of events could prove to be figuratively fatal in an unexpected way.

With Keith now secretly in her custody, Rebecca has to decide how to handle the situation, most specifically how much she will divulge to him in light of the fact that she still requires the use of CTU resources, including Andy's expertise, and that Keith is still a suspect as the leak. Through this situation, Andy in particular may underestimate the skills of Keith's new recruit, Mariana, who is outside the fold. Eric is able to make contact with Ben, who, still disillusioned with the US in general in how he was treated during the mission, has decided to sell the flash drive figuratively to the highest bidder. In reality, Ben gives Eric first crack at buying it at a price of $2 million payable within the hour. With Rebecca unable to raise that much money through unofficial channels, Eric turns to Isaac, who too does not have such money on hand. Eric decides to run with a suggestion made by Isaac, despite that suggestion being made solely in jest. It will be a difficult mission for Eric in that the money is being held by its very nature in what is generally a hyper-vigilant environment. Behind the scenes, the other potential buyer of the flash drive is Bin-Khalid's son, Jadalla, who is facing his own problems in terms of a difference in opinion among his ranks. With Nicole being hidden by Isaac, they may not realize that the biggest threat to both their safety in this situation is not the forces after Eric, but rather Aisha, who feels threatened by Isaac's ex-girlfriend being within their midst. Behind closed doors at the fundraiser, John learns from his father of a political ad from the opposing camp that will be issued tomorrow which digs up a skeleton about which John was unaware. He has to decide how to handle the situation, especially as it relates to Nilaa, who he still trusts. And at Pershing High School, Amira makes up a story to Drew about the texts, hoping that the lie will shut down his suspicions, while she continues to direct David in carrying out their plan.

When CTU notices that Naseri has made contact with someone n Jennifer's house and Eric arrives there to find Jennifer's precarious situation, bound and the bomb strapped to her person, it is a race against time to get the bomb removed and discover who she was used as a bargaining chip for, he and CTU unaware of what Steve is attempting to do inside CTU headquarters.

They will also have to try and find a way to contact Naseri directly without Bin-Khalid's knowledge. And even if Naseri does agree to the trade, he will have to manage it without Bin-Khalid's knowledge, Bin-Khalid who will stop at nothing now to execute Rebecca, with the whole world watching if possible.
