One of America's great military heroes, General Stephen Butler (Conrad Bachman), is taken hostage by a group of commandos who call themselves "Fallen Nation". He is forced to announce via video their plans to control the United States. Jenny (Christine Steel), who once served under General Butler, insists that Team Knight Rider mount a rescue mission, even before F.L.A.G. gives them a formal assignment.
Jenny (Christine Steele) and Domino pursue a black sedan driven by Jean-Claude Laval (Alan Gelfant), a former French government official who is wanted by the U.S. Government for grand theft, and three passenger vans carrying his desperados into Mexico. After taking out two of the vans, Jenny follows Jean-Claude and his gang into a small Mexican village.
When two corporate executives on the verge of changing their industries die in the same car accident, Kyle decides to have Team Knight Rider investigate. One of the men, Richard Norton (Chris Cote), had just perfected a process to coat metals with artificial diamonds, making them virtually indestructible. The other, Ronald Peters (Wesley Thompson), was about to release a device that could transmit one trillion bits of computer data per second. Both of these men created this technology while at a private think tank, but went public with their discoveries after leaving and going out on their own.
Former Team Knight Rider head, James Marland (Alan Coates), calls Kyle (Brixton Karnes) to enlist the team's help in tracking down the wreckage of one of his corporation's planes carrying valuable records and equipment. While investigating the scene of the crash, Kyle and Jenny (Christine Steel) hear shots and find two stunned hunters. The two hunters thought they heard an animal but were instead attacked by a Ferrari sports car with no driver. One hunter had his gun hit by a laser that heated the gun and burned his hands. As Jenny helps him with her first aid kit, the hunter identifies the logo on the kit as the same TKR logo that was on the car.
After cornering a van that the team has been pursuing, Jenny (Christine Steel) attempts to apprehend the driver. As she fights the driver, she fails to notice that the passenger is behind her. Kyle (Brixton Karnes) tries to warn her, but he is too late. The hooded passenger shoots her, grabs the driver and jumps into another waiting van. Once inside the van, the gunman is revealed to be Erica (Kathy Trageser).
Keith (Doug Cox) and Ray (Richard Reetz) are military technicians working on the Choctaw L-9, the U.S. government's latest war helicopter, which is armed with missiles, rockets and a gun turret capable of machine gun and laser fire. Two pilots approach the Choctaw. When asked for identification, the pilots remove their helmets, revealing themselves as Miss Kassidy (Karen Steiner) and Miss Kari (Kara Steiner). They draw their guns and, and after forcing Keith and Ray face down on the ground, steal the Choctaw.
