Newly promoted Murphy gets her first case as a detective with Gideon on a ride-along. They run into a pharmacy robbery and a young girl gets seriously injured. Gideon modifies the police force's motorcycles to go faster in order to outpace and capture the thief, who happens to be a race car driver by profession.

Gideon is the keynote speaker at the Windy City Tech Summit, where he is joined by Lauren (Kim Raver), the CEO of Reeves Industries. While Lauren is concerned that the 13th Precinct is just another one of Gideon's expensive "hobbies," evidence surfaces that Gideon may be the target of a murderer who has already killed once to gain an all-access pass to the summit. Meanwhile, Brandt and Goss deal with a suicidal young man, both divulging secrets in order to save him.

Lauren presents Gideon with the idea of "APB Prime," a security system they can sell to the broader public. Meanwhile, a series of arsons that appear to be related to gang wars turn out to be something entirely different.

Working with the FBI also offers Gideon a way to keep Lauren and his investors happy. Meanwhile, Danny Ragabi (Ty Olwin), a hacker from Ada's past now known as DV8, wants to disrupt the work of the 13th Precinct, as he believes Gideon is creating a police state.
