When Nick Beckett, a worker at a Government agency called 'The Hive', is framed over the murder of an official, he seeks help from a company called Gizmos (run by Ros Henderson, with help from her friend, Ed). Together they hunt the villains and go freelance. The BUGS team is formed and begins to solve cases of hi-tech crime and espionage.
Ed goes undercover on a space program to oversee the deployment of a new satellite. But as the seconds tick down to the launch, a saboteur prepares to strike.
Whilst Ed is stranded aboard the crippled shuttle, Ros and Beckett attempt to unmask the saboteur within Ground Control. Meanwhile, a more deadly enemy resurfaces.
The team comes up against a pesticide company's scheme to spread worldwide famine, using genetically engineered insects infected with a deadly micro-virus.
When a consortium of airlines plans to use a stealth plane to bring down a rival passenger airline, Ed goes undercover as a fighter pilot. Meanwhile, the team realize that someone is manipulating them.
A guided tour of a hi-tech nuclear power station turns into a hostage crisis for Ros when the building is stormed by eco-terrorists. However, the situation is not what it seems.
The Monetary Commission recruits the team when a microbe is released into their gold vault which will literally eat their gold reserves. Whilst Ros goes after the antidote, Ed becomes trapped in the vault as lethal security countermeasures are activated.
The Gizmos team race to stop Jean-Daniel after he unleashes an artificial intelligence across the Internet - leading Ros to make a terrible sacrifice.
As Jean-Daniel puts the final stages of his master-plan into action, Ed and Beckett must prevent Ros from unwittingly activating the deadly computer virus stored within her mind.
