Captain Perez's old friend, reporter Jerry Markham, returned home, but the next day Markham was killed in an accident in which he was rear-ended by someone. Markham's broken computer had recorded a video opposing the gas company's new pipeline. Inspector Perez investigates Dalhousie, the landowner of the fish farm where the pipeline will run.

Reunited, Claire and Jamie make their way to Lallybroch – Jamie’s family home. Reality quickly sets in, and old wounds are reopened between Jamie and his sister, Jenny.

Problems arise with the return of a redcoat deserter from Jamie's past, and Jamie and Ian join The Watch, while Claire tends to Jenny.

Officers Perez and Sandy visit Dalhousie and see a house with harassing graffiti saying "Get out. John, who was going to marry Evie, who runs the "Cove Preservation Society," was attacked by someone and left for dead. The paint at the two crime scenes, Jerry's and John's, and the paint on the Dalhousie house graffiti turned out to be identical.

Claire and Jenny head off to save Jamie from the redcoat captors and meet up with Murtagh, who joins them. The trio employ unusual tactics to get word to Jamie.
