Kennex and Dorian respond to a suspicious death at a hospital where -- before having a fatal cardiac arrest -- a man claimed someone was trying to kill him, and inexplicably knew his exact time of death.

As the team fights to find the pulse of this 2048 tech-centric crime, Dorian reconnects with a decommissioned DRN.

Kennex and Dorian investigate a psychopathic killer named Simon (guest star DAVID DASTMALCHIAN), who is strapping bombs to his victims' necks and broadcasting their final moments over the internet.
