Når en satellitt som skal redde liv i kampen mot globale pandemier eksploderer, ansetter Peter Swann sikkerhetseksperten Vincent Corbo og teamet hans for å undersøke saken.

Peter ansetter Vincent og teamet hans som livvakter, mens de gransker hvem som står bak angrepene. Når de oppdager at hans datter Jane er savnet, blir de tvunget til å komme opp med en risikabel plan.

Zora går bak ryggen på broren, mens Peter og Grace kunngjør en ny oppskytingsdag for neste satellitt. Angrepene fortsetter, og Vincent blir innhentet av fortiden.

After the surprising deaths, Peter realizes that his half-sister Zora will stop at nothing to expand her power. Before following Grace to the Congo, where the Marburg virus broke out, he transfers his voting rights to his father Reginald. On the way to the airport, Peter and Vincent are attacked by a drone controlled by Zora's security chief Luther.

When Peter and Vincent arrive in the Congo, they learn that Grace has fallen into the hands of a military faction. While Vincent immediately goes to look for Grace, Peter tries to secure her return transport. But the splinter group is not their only problem: Luther Bruhn has followed them and wants to use the chaotic situation for his own purposes.

Thanks to the daring pilot, Grace, Malu and Djamba manage to return safely to the camp. But Grace is very worried about Peter and Vincent, who they had to leave behind, and would like to go straight to find them. The men have fled and ended up in a minefield, which not only endangers their persecutors, but also themselves.

While Peter and Vincent fight for their lives in the Congo, Zora prepares everything in Dublin for a hostile takeover of the Swann Empire. Meanwhile, Peter's daughter Jane starts an affair with Vincent's younger brother Danny and gets on the wrong track. In the Congo, Grace is seriously ill with the Marburg virus and urgently needs medical help.

After Peter has brought his fiancée Grace to safety in New Zealand, he travels to Dublin, where Zora has ensured in his absence that Peter not only loses his share of the family empire, but also has to go to prison for infidelity. In return for a small favor, Vincent helps the Europol agent Neumann to put Tariq Bassari behind bars.

Zora believes her goals are within reach, but she did the math without Vincent. His force is now also supported by the former Europol agent Neumann, who left the agency disaffected. While Peter, Vincent and the others do everything they can to prevent the rocket launch, the Russian investors are sitting on Zora's neck and will not tolerate any delay.
