While researching a sea orchid, Aleksander Cirko has an unexpected breakthrough and discoveries the mystery sea species' origins. However, he only has time to tell Lee before he is mysteriously hit by a car. The sea orchid is taken, and Ciko, badly injured, is left abandoned by the roadside.

Singh, Cirko's assistant, attempts to continue the work by reclaiming the orchid from a government warehouse. Singh needs to infiltrate a warehouse, grab the orchid and other important items, and leave. Will he be successful? Or will the mission fail?

Meanwhile, Rich and Laura both face problems of their own. Evidence says that Laura's house was ransacked, and she believes it was done by none other than the government itself.

Surface Show Summary

Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the earth?

Surface is an expansive drama series that centers on the appearance of mysterious sea creatures in the deep ocean - and tracks the lives of a variety of characters. They are: Laura Daughtery, the young oceanographer who discovers the secret; Government Scientist Dr. Aleksander Cirko and Pentagon Official Davis Lee, who both try to keep things under wraps; Richard Connelly, the Louisiana fisherman-insurance salesman who lost his brother in a suspicious diving accident; and Miles, the young boy who brings the creatures ashore.

The mystery ensnares a spectrum of people, including naval officers in the South Antarctic Sea, a family in Wilmington, North Carolina, scientists from the Oceanographic Institute in Monterey, and divers in the Gulf of Mexico. The seemingly innocent creatures they find are beautiful - but they are full of surprises as viewers continue on a journey to discover what might be lurking in the sea.
