Here's an episodic synopsis, including explanations of flashbacks:

Episode 101: "Not So Far From Home" Kirk Abel, a teenage boy who's only just moved back to the US after living in England with his father for the past fifteen years, is recovering from a recent Pneumothorax episode, chatting amicably with a nurse, Elaine Rice, about books, when three teenagers enter his room. The boy, Thomas Martin explains they're from Kirk's new school, and wanted to welcome him to the States, before shaking his hand. He introduces himself as part of the school's community outreach club, along with his fellow junior officer, Sherry Link as well as Isabel Castille, a more serious girl in charge of something called "Countermeasures."

After his classmates leave, Kirk gets bored sitting alone in his room and decides to take a walk around the hospital. By mistake he ends up in a service elevator to the basement. There he meets a strange girl his own age carrying a doll. She's wearing a high school ID badge with the name Holly Jordan on it. When Kirk asks what she's doing, Holly replies she's come looking for her other half. It's only when they part ways Kirk realizes they're in the morgue.

Flashbacks: Kirk's relationship with his father. During a conversation over the phone with his aunt Lily about his relationship with his father and not feeling at home in England, Lily comforts him by saying he'll always have a place where people love him.

Episode 102: "Q&A"

One week later, Kirk is ready for school. His aunt helps him prepare and explains how American schools function. Kirk is introduced to the class by his homeroom teacher, Mr. Lamp, and his assistant, Ms. Godiva. Later on, he meets several other students: Nolan Fletcher a soccer player and Thomas's best friend; a pair of shy boys named  Jericho Chevelier and  Jonah Wind; along with Sherry's energetic friend Ruby Fields. Kirk notices Isabel isn't in class, and asks Timothy where she is. Timothy in turn inquires of Alexandria Noble who uncomfortably explains she's out sick. Kirk recognizes her as his aunt's neighbor, which thaws her a little, and prompts her to explain that she and her friends Amy and William have study sessions at her house from time to time, and he's welcome to attend.

Kirk sees Holly at the back of the class, but before he can speak to her, Sherry offers to give him a tour of the school, which mildly irritates Timothy who'd planned to do the same thing. While touring the school Kirk notices a large cabinet in one hallway, filled with pictures of students. He asks Sherry what it means, but she's reluctant to explain, telling him it's not something they like to talk about.

Kirk and Sherry encounter Holly, but Sherry begins to act odd when Kirk attempts to speak to her, intentionally cutting her off and acting very out of character. Kirk asks what her problem with Holly is, to which hotly Sherry replies she has no idea what he's talking about, or who he's talking to. Holly shrugs and walks away. Later on, Kirk brings it up to Nolan and Timothy, who ask what Sherry had told him. Kirk assumes they mean the monument, and explains he understands if they'd rather not explain. Nolan tells that's a good idea, and furthermore he should stop messing with things he doesn't understand.

Later on, Kirk sees Holly again. He asks what their previous encounter was about, to which Holly explains she can't tell him, and furthermore, it'd be best if he doesn't speak to her again. Before walking away, she tells Kirk he needs to be careful, because bad things seem to be following her of late.

Flashbacks: Sherry's relationship with Thomas and Isabel.

Episode 103: "Ulterior Motives"

Isabel goes to pick up her missed classwork, but sees Kirk and Holly talking. The next day she brings this up to Sherry, Alexandria, Thomas, and Nolan, and demands to know what they've been doing. Nolan smugly explains he's already told Kirk to stop messing around with things he doesn't understand, which causes Isabel to blow up at him. She informs her classmates they'd all better get a grip on things, before something horrible happens. Before walking away, she tells her friends she's not going to tolerate any mistakes.

Kirk asks Sherry and Thomas about Holly, but the two become extremely uncomfortable. When Kirk asks what the problem is, Sherry shouts at him to never mention that name again, begging to be excused and hurrying away. Thomas sends Kirk an irritated look before going after her. Realizing he's not getting anywhere with this, Kirk decides to try a different approach, and contacts Elaine, explaining he's concerned about the well being of one of his classmates. Elaine says she'll buy that for the moment, but she expects a real answer in return.

Kirk meets Holly again, this time in an art class. While she's willing to talk about her drawing, she's still not interested in explaining things, saying it's not her place, and if he keeps pressing her, things will get worse for all of them. Kirk admits defeat and leaves, but asks Holly if she comes here every day.

Kirk casually brings up Holly to Nolan and Jericho, but both boys are genuinely horrified. Nolan tells Kirk he needs to knock it off and stop talking about things that aren't real, before the bell rings.

Alexandria invites Kirk over to study with her, Isabel, and Thomas, but he's distracted when he sees Nolan trying to skulk by. Kirk asks him what he was talking about earlier, which causes Isabel to go off on him again, demanding of her friends why she's surrounded by idiots. Alexandria repeatedly attempts to stop her rant to point out Kirk has already left, apparently following Holly. Isabel sends Alexandria an irritated look, before saying they need to change tactics.

Kirk attempts to follow Holly home, but becomes lost in a commercial district, losing sight of her at what appears to be a toy store. Confused, he heads home.

A torrential rain storm hits town the next day. Sherry asks Kirk at lunch if he's reminded of home (England is known for being rainy). Kirk replies he is, though he's not at the moment impressed by American hospitality, since someone's stolen his umbrella. Sherry smiles and tells him he can walk home with her if it's still raining.

Kirk meets her after class, but asks Sherry follow him because he wants to show her something. That something turns out to be Holly in the art room. Kirk stands in the doorway and demands answers. Cornered, Sherry asks Kirk what she ever did to him, confusing Kirk, who allows Sherry to slip out. Holly looks at him and shakes her head, telling him he shouldn't have done that.

Panicked, Sherry dashes across the campus to find Isabel. She sees Alexandria at the opposite side of the courtyard, and tries to yell what's happened. Out of breath, she only manages to say Kirk and Holly's name, before she stumbles and falls headfirst onto her umbrella. Kirk arrives just in time to see Alexandria holding Sherry and screaming for help. An ambulance is called, but Sherry bleeds to death on the way to the hospital.

The next day the class learns of their friend's death, as well as that her parents were both killed in a car accident rushing to their daughter's side. Isabel, Alexandria, and Thomas discuss this most recent development. Isabel blames herself for Sherry's death, but Alexandria tells her it's not her fault. Thomas demands to know whose it is, then, but Alexandria shrugs and says maybe some things just happen. Isabel shakes her head, and replies that's not true this time, and maybe "it" really has begun.

Flashback: Isabel, Alexandria, and Sherry have a fun summer, but a month before school starts a meeting for their homeroom is called. Isabel stuns the class by choosing to become head of countermeasures. Mr. Lamp makes sure she understands what's she's doing, but Isabel replies she knows what's at stake, and she'll take her duties seriously.
