Daniel Jackson is in custody for a crime and no one believes he is innocent - because Stargate Command has absolute proof of his guilt. Luckily, one person is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Having discovered that Ba'al has placed a clone infiltrator close to one of his old friends, Daniel accompanies the Sun Tzu to warn him of the imminent danger the clone poses.
A visit to Vala's 'friend' Keto turns into a family reunion when she and Daniel are abducted by Vala's former associate Zoder and the crew of his ship, The Capital Venture.
A series of thefts from a planet's library piques Daniel's interest, so he and Vala investigate. With some help from Keto, the pair go undercover in an attempt to find out why the treasures are being taken.
