As Voyager prepares to cross a treacherous expanse of which Neelix knows absolutely nothing, Neelix runs across an old friend (of dubious trust) - fellow Telaxian "Wix" - at a trading outpost. As Neelix seeks a map of the expanse, Wix soon involves him in criminal dealings that put Chakotay and Paris wrongfully behind bars. Neelix seeks to right his wrongs, even though his grievous actions have likely cost him continued passage aboard Voyager.
