A Marine (Brian Patrick Wade) dies during a night-time training jump. The culprit seems to be a faulty parachute, but the standard investigation reveals that the death might not have been an accident after all. Gibbs begins to believe that the supposed accident which resulted in the Marine's death might actually be murder after all and he and Tony, along with new recruit Kate Todd, set out to find out who tampered with the dead Marine's faulty parachute and eventually sent him to his death.

Kate refuses to believe that the deceased sailor committed suicide as, like her, he came from a Catholic family where suicide is considered a mortal sin. Meanwhile Abby discovers a link between the crew of the USS Foster and an MMORPG known as The Immortals, and begins searching the game for clues and evidence in order to assist Gibbs and the team in solving the case and saving the ship from possible destruction.

Two former shipmates who serve with the deceased come under suspicion for both the murder and the theft. Gibbs and Tony work at investigating the murder, while Kate is charged with tracking down the missing funds although she is more devoted to ensuring the dead lieutenant's former wife and young daughter receive his death benefits. Abby uses a computer reconstruction to work a confession out of a possible suspect.

Gibbs quickly comes to believe that the motive for the brutal murder was identity theft and his suspicions are further confirmed when it's revealed that although a submariner is dead, no one has been reported missing, leading Gibbs to believe that an imposter is on one of the submarines. Tony, Abby, and McGee are tasked with identifying the deceased, while Gibbs and Kate are sent underwater on a submarine to vet five possible suspects, one of whom might have been responsible for the murder and to also prevent a possible sarin attack from taking place.

Gibbs suspects CIA involvement, and the team soon find themselves tracking a rogue operative who killed the first Marine as a part of a cover-up in regards to a classified mission that ended in disaster and is now attempting to kill off the dead Marine's partner to make sure that the investigation is wrapped up while he flees with the money the CIA previously paid in an attempt to save the two kidnapped Marines. As such, the team find themselves racing against the clock as they attempt to rescue the deceased Marine's partner before another murder takes place and take down the rogue CIA agent once and for all.
