The body of a murdered federal agent is found, and Five-O is contacted by the government agency that sent him to Hawaii, which also sends another agent, Glen Fallon, to Hawaii to assist Five-O. McGarrett and Five-O discover that the murdered man was investigating the possibility of a "sleeper" agent within the March Foundation, a think-tank funded by the U.S. government. The evidence uncovered by McGarrett and Fallon begins to suggest that the Foundation's chief, Dr. Rathman, is the "sleeper" that the murdered agent was looking for.

Four stabbings have taken place in Honolulu, but Five-O hasn't been able to come up with anything linking the victims, or any consistent pattern among the killings except the murder weapon used. Then McGarrett is unexpectedly visited by Agnes DuBois, a young Englishwoman whose profession is preparing horoscopes. She claims that all of the victims shared certain astrological characteristics. Though McGarrett and the other members of Five-O are initially skeptical, they become intrigued when she correctly predicts the time and place of a fifth murder.

An American drug smuggler, who faces death by hanging if arrested by Singapore authorities, escapes McGarrett's grip quite literally by sliding along a tram car cable, then fleeing to one of the tiny islands that surround the main island. A Malay drug lord, stiffed by the American, wants his scalp and kidnaps his wife to force him to come out into the open. The drug lord permits McGarrett to board his boat and to take the wife (who has been forced to ingest cocaine and will soon die if she doesn't get medical help) to a hospital in return for her husband facing death by a bullet. The American, now on the lam, agrees, but secretly instructs his goon squad to create a diversion while he pulls off the ultimate double-cross.
