When everyone in the world stops dying, the CIA is alerted by a single word: Torchwood.

Rex takes the Torchwood team back to the U.S.. When Esther reveals to her section chief Brian Friedkin that she's part of Rex's rendition, she finds the CIA turning against her and has to go on the run.

Rex and Esther support Gwen and Jack after they are forced to go into hiding. Together, they try to find out what is really behind the miracle that is preventing people from dying.

The team arrives in California and prepares its attack on PhiCorp. However, PhiCorp is one step ahead of the group. As a result, Jack and Gwen get a nasty surprise in the company's high-security wing.

Vera travels to Los Angeles, Calif., to join the Torchwood team as governments across the world swing into action with the new category system. Gwen flies home to the U.K. to save her father and infiltrate the healthcare camp.

Gwen is trapped inside the UK Overflow Camp with her father's existence hanging in the balance. Rex is determined to get his secret out, but when Colin Maloney's men capture him, only Esther can save him from a fate worse than death.

In 1927 New York, Jack encounters a young man named Angelo. Meanwhile, in the present, Gwen kidnaps Jack in an attempt to save her family.
