Synopsis for "Chapter one"

Prologue: Captain America fights HYDRA troops onboard the Red Skull's Tesseract-powered plane. One such trooper falls out and lands on one of the mini-planes, which promptly crashes into the Arctic.

The Present: Nick Fury finds the crashed HYDRA plane. When asked by a colleague if it's Cap, Fury replies "No, but we're getting closer." Back at the Greenland base, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director tries his best to calm down Agent Coulson over the possibility of meeting the World War II hero.
