A xenophobic alien race attack Paris and Torres while they are on a shuttle mission. This alien race is known for attacking intruders entering what they consider their territory. The aliens surprise Torres and Paris by beaming aboard the shuttle and knocking them unconscious with a strange weapon. The Aliens leave and Torres awakens and gets the still unconscious Paris back to Voyager.

Janeway decides to proceed ahead as no one in the system knows the boundary of the alien’s space. The Doctor can’t determine how to help Paris recover from the strange weapons effect. The Doctor is also feeling the effects his program being run beyond its design. The crew must fight the aliens through their space, while restoring the Doctor’s program in order to save Paris from death.
