The Stitchers team investigates the cuddle of an online psychic whose symbolic, layered memories are further complicated when Kristen sees the cuddle of another person in the Stitch. Maggie expresses her reservations about Kirsten's relationship with Liam. Meanwhile, Camille hesitantly agrees to meet Linus's parents.
Kirsten is a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be 'stitched' into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate cuddles and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave.
Working alongside Kirsten is Cameron, a brilliant neuroscientist whose passion for the program is evident in his work. The secret program is headed by Maggie, a skilled veteran of covert operations, and includes Linus, a socially immature bioelectrical engineer and communications technician. Kirsten's roommate, Camille, a gifted computer science grad student, is also recruited to use her skills to assist Kirsten in her new role as a 'stitcher'.
