Commander Sisko welcomes the Wadi, a new alien species from the Gamma Quadrant. Once on board, the alien leader, Falow, dispenses with the pleasantries and immediately heads for Quark's Bar to gamble. Sensing a profit-making opportunity, Quark encourages the aliens to play Dabo, and they begin to win. But when Quark is caught rigging the game, Falow forces him to play a new game called Chula. When the game begins, Sisko and his senior officers disappear from the station and find themselves trapped in a dangerous alien labyrinth, with Quark playing for their lives.
