After saving the President of the United States from a quasi-supernatural assassination attempt, Secret Service agents Myka Bering and Pete Lattimer find themselves transferred to an isolated facility in South Dakota at the behest of the enigmatic government agent Mrs. Frederic. Their new boss, Arthur "Artie" Nielsen, explains that they're uniquely qualified to help track down and neutralize paranormal items called "artifacts." These artifacts have the ability to warp reality and control the behavior of people who come in contact with them -- and it's the Warehouse's job to lock them away for safe keeping. Pete is skeptical but willing to give the Warehouse a chance, while Myka despairs of what she views as a demotion and requests a transfer back to her previous position.
While they wait to hear back from their old boss in Washington D.C., Pete and Myka are dispatched to look into the case of promising law student Cody, whose sudden violent outbursts seem to indicate the presence of an artifact.

** Myka is first seen at the museum for a pre-gala inspection to make sure ''everything'' is up to her exacting standards before the president's visit. After an awkward run-in with a kid on a school tour, she demands the full attention of the head of the museum and steamrolls over his objection to accompanying her on the tour.
** Pete is introduced at his apartment the morning after a fling with a waitress from the gala's catering company. She says she "doesn't know anything about him" before dragging him back into bed.
