Cameron Scott takes a job at the antique store owned by Starshine. When her junkie ex-husband Mitchell Blake shows up, he brings with him several drug dealers to whom he owes money. The dealers intend to make Starshine pay, but Cameron chases them away.

Later Mitch turns up at Starshine's house sick from an apparent overdose. He is taken to the hospital while Cameron goes after the dealers as Captain Atom. He works his way up the chain from dealer to supplier until he locates a poppy field on a small island. He burns the field and fights the drug lord who controls the supply of the drugs.

When Captain Atom is done, he returns to the hospital as Cameron Scott. Mitchell has died.
