Chronologically occurring between two seasons of Family Ties, Ashes of Cancún is a movie, focusing on Sergei, Michael and Gavin, about half a year after they had helped defeat Clayton in "City of Terror" and, subsequently, left for Moscow to join the secret service. Their boss, Lt. Viktor, dispatches them to Mexico, after a massive bomb has, reportedly, been smuggled into Cancún by the Phoenix. They join forces with the Spider, who has, apparently, switched sides after his escapades in Robert Locksley's service, while a persistent police commander is on their trail, believing them to be in league with the Phoenix. Sergei is struggling with a reignited feeling of guilt over the deaths of Aleks and Katya, while Michael and Gavin struggle to accept Uncle Carlos' apparent terroristic tendencies. In Moscow, meanwhile, a new member of Sergei's team, a computer genius named Scott, uncovers a dark conspiracy, which forces Aleks and Sergei's former boss, Major Konstantin, to leave retirement and root out a traitor.
