Sydney is kidnapped by a faction of the Committee who brutally question her to discover her secret. She manages to contact Duncan for help, and he enters into VR in search of her. Oliver is somehow in possession of the journal of Sydney's father, but is he on Sydney's side?

Sydney decides to take a holiday from her work at the Committee and returns to her childhood home in Pasadena. The previous inhabitants claims the house is possessed by demons, while his daughter insists an angel saved her life during a fire. As Sydney explores the house, she gradually remembers bits and pieces from her past, and also discovers a secret room where her father conducted his early VR experiments.
