Season 2 picks up eight months after last years finale with the stage set for an explosive turn of events at the Binghamton facility (the Guantanamo of the Alpha world) that could have devastating, far-reaching consequences. Dr. Lee Rosen, having exposed the existence of Alphas to the unsuspecting public, finds himself discredited and imprisoned by a government desperate to cover up his revelation. The rest of the core team has disbanded and some, without Rosens guidance and care, have regressed to their old, destructive ways. They must now battle their individual demons in order to reunite and try to save their own.
