Sindler's car is struck by a train at a railroad crossing as energy, telecommunications, and transportation networks are affected by a massive nationwide cyberattack, dubbed 'Zero Day', causing disasters that kill thousands. After Mullen delivers an impassioned speech on the disaster efforts in New York City, he accepts an appointment from President Evelyn Mitchell to head the Zero Day Commission investigating the attack, despite his daughter, Congresswoman Alexandra Mullen, pleading with him to turn it down. After a briefing from CIA Director Jeremy Lasch, Mullen receives intelligence from a former Mossad operative, Natan, that Russia was responsible. Mullen experiences unusual events, including mysterious music and spotting Sindler in a crowd. His failure to recognize a notebook left in his safe, or a member of his household staff, lead him to angry confrontations, leaving his mental state unknown.

Mullen is introduced to his colleagues in the Zero Day Commission, while Alexandra is appointed by House Speaker Richard Dreyer to head an oversight committee to monitor the Commission. Mullen links his notebook filled with erratic writing to memories of cryptic phone calls, and the Commission is alerted to a hackers' collective massacred in the Bronx by a rogue Russian GRU agent, with the lone survivor identified as a former National Security Agency employee. Roger Carlson, Mullen's longtime aide, learns that Sindler's body is missing, and is urged by billionaire Robert Lyndon to keep the investigation focused on Russia. The NSA employee is taken into custody, while the GRU agent is killed by another Russian operative, who gives Roger evidence exonerating Russia. Mitchell cancels retaliatory measures against Russia moments before a live address; instead, Mullen blames the attack on a radical left-wing domestic terrorist organization called the Reapers, claiming they have stolen a government cyber-weapon called 'Proteus'. Lasch informs Mitchell that Proteus is not what Mullen believes it to be.

Suspected Reapers are arrested across the country, but political commentator Evan Green, an outspoken critic of Mullen, stirs up public outcry when a 17-year-old minor is wrongfully detained. Mullen throws away his medication, and continues to be plagued by a mysterious song,[a] while Sheila convinces his former chief of staff Valerie Whitesell to rejoin his team, despite Sheila (and Alexandra) knowing that Mullen fathered her 12-year-old daughter. Roger has Sindler's casket exhumed and DNA appears to confirm her death, but he is warned by Natan that Mullen should abandon his investigation. Mullen personally interrogates a suspect, Erik Hayes, forcing him to cooperate by threatening his family. Targeted by Green, Lyndon blackmails Roger into submitting photographs to Mullen tying Green to Hayes. Fed up with Green's vitriolic attacks, Mullen has him arrested without a warrant, while Roger discovers Mullen's notebook of paranoid thoughts. Alexandra and Roger resume their previous relationship, and Whitesell confronts Lasch, who denies that Proteus has been reactivated. Another cyberattack shuts down a major bank, leading Mitchell to order a weekend freeze on banking transactions, stoking nationwide unrest. In detention, Green antagonizes Mullen and Commission investigator Carl Otieno, but reveals the identities of several Reapers. Whitesell tracks down the last surviving scientist who worked on Proteus, a neurological weapon to inflict long-range brain trauma. She reports her findings to Mullen, and they suspect he is being targeted, creating a makeshift SCIF tent in his office. Roger ties radio equipment recovered from the Reapers to Lyndon, and discovers the group are communicating via a mysterious frequency. Alexandra calls Sheila, having inexplicably learned of her father's cognitive problems. Mullen and Whitesell inform Sheila of their suspicions, and he passes a series of cognitive tests, but has Green tortured. After unknown operatives blackmail Roger to force Mullen to recuse himself from the Commission, Roger instead comes clean to Alexandra, which inexplicably leads the operatives to kill Roger and stage his death as a drug overdose. Mullen is reminded of the similar death of his son, and Dreyer orders Sheila to testify before Congress.
