As a troubled teenager, Nikita (series star MAGGIE Q) was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division. There she was erased from society & trained to be a spy & assassin. After being betrayed by the only people she thought she could trust, Nikita escaped from Division. Now, after three years in hiding, the rogue Nikita is seeking retribution & is making it clear to her former boss, Percy (series star XANDER BERKELEY), & former friends & colleagues Michael (series star SHANE WEST) & Birkhoff (series star Aaron Stanford) that she will stop at nothing to expose & destroy their covert agency. Meanwhile, Division continues to recruit & train other young people who have been ostracized from society, among them Jaden (series star TIFFANY HINES) & Thom (series star ASHTON HOLMES), erasing all evidence of their former lives & turning them into cold & efficient killers. One of these new recruits, Alex (series star LYNDSY FONSECA) is a beautiful girl with a violent past & a story not so different from Nikita's. Reluctant to accept her new fate, Alex is given special attention by Amanda (series star MELINDA CLARKE), a master manipulator who can turn any ugly duckling into a swan & harden any bleeding heart into that of a killer. ...

Alex informs Nikita that Division is sending her on her first mission to kill the leader of a crime syndicate. Alex is uneasy about taking someone's life but is reassured by Nikita who insists on helping her with the kill order. Birkhoff discovers the shell program that has been used to connect to Nikita in the outside world & informs Percy & Michael there is a mole inside Division. When the mission doesn't go as planned, Nikita makes a quick decision in an effort to clear Alex's name. Inside Division, Jayden attempts to reveal Alex as the mole but Thom steps in. ...

Now an agent, Alex gets a new apartment & is given a cover job. She meets her new neighbor, Nathan (recurring guest star THAD LUCKENBILL -- The Young & the Restless, 8 Simple Rules), who invites her to a party at his house. Nikita warns Alex about getting too involved with people but Alex struggles between her duties at Division & living a normal life. Nikita realizes Division has implanted a kill chip in Alex's head & sets out to gain control of the chip. Plus, while interrogating Birkhoff, Nikita stuns Ryan (recurring guest star NOAH BEAN) by revealing a secret. ...

Alex's first assignment is a group mission to kill the Prince of Georgia at a museum gala. After Alex tells Nikita about the order, the two devise a plan to foil the assassination. However, Nikita trusts the wrong person & their plans are foiled, resulting in a st&-off & Division is alerted that Nikita is in the building. Percy sends Michael in to kill Nikita. ...

Ryan (recurring guest star NOAH BEAN) intercepts a message about a dangerous cutting-edge weapon coming into the U.S. so he asks Nikita to help him stop the delivery.

She reluctantly resumes her alter ego to retrieve the missile. Meanwhile, Michael interferes in Alex's new life with Nathan (recurring guest star THAD LUCKINBILL). ...

While out on a mission for Division, Alex runs into Irina (guest star KSENIA SOLO -- Black Swan, Life Unexpected), a woman from her past.
