Coerced by his concerned crew, Captain Picard reluctantly agrees to take a week-long holiday on the tropical pleasure-planet of Risa. However, shortly after his arrival he encounters Sovak, a mercenary Ferengi who accuses him of conspiring with an attractive woman named Vash; questioned about a mysterious optical data disc, Picard denies any knowledge of the item, unaware that Vash has slipped it into his pocket. On returning to his room, he is confronted by Boratus and Ajur, two Vorgons who have been following him; they reveal that they are a security team from the Twenty-Seventh century searching for a powerful secret weapon called the Tox Uthat; their history books note that the scientist who invented the device travelled back in time to hide it from criminals, and also that it is Picard's destiny to find the missing object. When a sceptical Picard then finds that he has the disc he confronts Vash; she tells him that it was entrusted to her by an archaeologist who discovered the location of the Uthat just prior to his death, and that Sovak plans to secure the device and then sell it to the highest bidder. Picard and Vash head off on a 'treasure hunt', but the Ferengi and the Vorgons are not far behind...
