Two oil pipeline workers are killed offshore by what initially appears to be a giant sea serpent. Dylan is approached by Leo a young cryptozoology enthusiast who's positive he's seen something remarkable in the water near his home. He believes the sea creature may be the inspiration for his people's legend of Sisiutl. Evan goes with Mac and Toby to investigate an Anomaly that pinged their Detector grid and they wind up crossing paths with Dylan and Leo. The Anomaly is underwater right offshore from First Nations land that is being controversially developed for an expanded oil tanker loading facility. There are protestors of the construction among them Leo's uncle Raymond who comes under suspicion from Detective Harlow for the deaths. Dylan is torn between helping with the investigation and a chance to get her old job and her old life back if she agrees to stop making waves.

Meanwhile Mac and his fellow security guard Samantha are left to guard the Anomaly on the airstrip and are soon facing off with the Queen Beetle.

When an Anomaly opens on the perimeter of an abandoned train yard the team isn't sure what carnage they might find. Evan and Dylan are first to the site where they find empty train cars that have been turned into a marijuana Grow-Op.

A group of small yet cunning Daemonosaurus' arrive through an Anomaly at a warehouse store -- and by the looks of things they're not looking for pressure-washers.
