SG-1 discover a world divided between a dark and light side, with a population similarly split between the Touched, who are heavy-browed primitives with limited skills and the brutal instincts of animals, and the Untouched, a race similar to the Minoan civilization of Earth.
However, when the team returns to Earth, all but Teal'c and Jackson begin to develop into Untouched, and it's up to them to find a cure to this mysterious disease.
