It bothers Agent Sydney Bristow's conscience that too often her job asks her to work with criminals she would much rather put away. She understands the logic - the lesser of two evils approach is all too familiar to her - but that doesn't make it any easier to accept. Someone else disagrees. APO's more dubious contacts are being assassinated, with only a calling card depicting a black star with the number thirteen in its centre for a lead. When it becomes clear that a lethal, highly trained vigilante organisation is interfering with APO's missions, Sydney must put aside her empathy and help shut down these mysterious "13 Stars". But when Sydney herself is mistaken for a freelance terror agent, she worries that the mistake is not so far from the truth. And now that she's marked, both her cover and welfare are in immediate jeopardy...
Agents Sydney Bristow and Marcus Dixon are hot on the trail of a drug lord who has created a mind-control drug so potent that in the wrong hands it could be one of the world's most dangerous bioweapons. Determined to halt production of the substance, the agents go undercover as dealers. Their approach proves to be successful when the drug lord invites them to his estate -- the perfect chance for Sydney to snoop around and find the location of the main lab.
But things don't go quite as planned. A government agency interferes with APO's mission; Sydney is forced to ingest a dose of the drug and commanded to turn on her APO counterparts; Dixon is taken hostage; and someone believed to be an ally turns out to be more foe than friend....
