In the series premiere, members of the Legacy, an ancient, secret society that investigates the paranormal, are introduced, as their leader, Dr. Derek Rayne (Derek de Lint) struggles with his own dark past.

Derek's old friend, Damon Ballard, facing divorce from his wife Lisa, is charged with abusing his ten-year-old son Michael. The police give no credence to Damon's claim that an invisible force attacked them both; so he turns to the Legacy team.

The Legacy's Rachel and Nick investigate a town that has been trapped in time and is ruled by a charismatic preacher, Abraham Hawking, who is determined to test Rachel's loyalty to the Legacy.

When Alex Moreau (Robbi Chong) testifies against a slum lord, the man is sentenced to "do time" in his own dilapidated building. But when she stumbles upon the tragic past of the building, she is faced with the evil spirits that dwell within it.

After excavating a cave in Qumran, Randolph Hitchcock, a former Legacy member and an old friend of Derek's, presents him with a prized artifact that carries with it a long-lost secret…and a deadly curse.

Doctor Rachel Corrigan (Helen Shaver) helps an ancient sailor, Samuel Hartford (Julian Stone), search for his long-lost identity, unfortunately, discovering in the process that he may have to die to save his soul, his past…and even the present!
