The away team is trapped on Icaria Prime. The cause of both the hallucinations they are experiencing and the equipment failures is the Krialta — but one of its pieces is missing. Commander Corsi and Lieutenant Vale must work together — for the first time since their fatal first meeting a decade ago — to find the missing piece before everyone on the planet — including Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise — is driven insane!

Meanwhile, both Commander Gomez and Dr. Sarjenka must face demons from their past, as the Krialta brings long-dormant memories to the surface, ones that will change their lives forever!
