Suspecting that the Borg are behind the recent disappearance of a Federation colony, Starfleet sends Lt. Commander Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy), a specialist in Borg matters, to the Enterprise. Alluring and ambitious, Shelby has more than the Borg on her mind - she wants to replace Riker (Jonathan Frakes), who has been offered command of his own starship.

The Borg threaten to attack the Enterprise unless Picard (Patrick Stewart) is surrendered to them. After Picard refuses, the Borg board the ship and abduct Picard. Under Riker's command, the Enterprise pursues the Borg who appear to be headed for Earth.

After Shelby leads a thwarted rescue attempt, a Borg spokesperson contacts the Enterprise. The being identifies itself as Locutus, but the crew recognizes his true identity - Captain Jean-Luc Picard!

After Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) has been captured by the Borg and transformed into one of them, Starfleet promotes Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) to Captain of the Enterprise.

The Borg have now absorbed Picard's knowledge of the Federation, enabling them to decimate a Starfleet armada and continue on to Earth, where they intent to enslave humanity. Riker realizes the only hope is to tap into Picard's knowledge of the Borg and turn the tables.

In a daring strategy, Riker has Picard kidnapped from the Borg ship and brought back to the Enterprise. Data (Brent Spiner) then wires into Picard's Borg side to try to implant a destructive computer command into the Borg collective consciousness. But will destroying the Borg also kill Picard?
