Even Rox's ability to heal has limits. Halo's efforts to save evolved ones is under threat by a new organization that isn't interested in operating from the shadows. AmLife is a biotech company leading research on genetic manipulation. They announced they're five years away from uncovering the genetic markers that activate evolved abilities, and their lead scientist, Dr Clifford Tusk, knows just the EO to help advance their efforts.

Rox turns to Katherine for help, but she has her own crisis: Meita is missing. Rox joins the search for Meita just as Sam returns and AmLife shows up at Halo's doorstep. Rox realizes the only way to save all EOs is to go public, but once her secret is out, there's no turning back.
