After Mr. Roderick loses the young Sean into a New England portal, newly-hired clerk Ryan Balsam is asked to investigate his first anomaly site.
As a convalescing Mr. Roderick gives Father Severick orders to find the missing boy Sean, Ryan has left a voicemail for his brother Connor saying he's in trouble. Meanwhile, Ryan's girlfriend Susan follows her own path to find him but instead comes face to face with a very different Father Severick.
