Sydney was working for the CIA trying to take down Arvin Sloane and his cronies, one of whom was her mother. Sloane's goal was to find and assemble all the components of the Rambaldi Device, some artifact that a prophet long ago had built. This device was supposed to be of great power, but we never really found out what it was supposed to do (WMD, immortality, whatever). Sydney's mother was in CIA custody for a long time, but all the while she was scheming to trick the CIA into using their computers and intelligence to find some of the Rambaldi Device pieces for Sloane. Eventually, she accompanied a CIA team on a mission, acting as an assistant and made good her escape.

Sydney used to work for SD-6, which was a branch of The Alliance, a group of men who were determined to rule the world, and which Sloane used to be a member of. SD-6 pretended to be a secret US government organization, and told all its employees this. Sydney found out the truth from her father, who was also in SD-6, and was acting as a double-agent for the CIA. She then decided to be a double-agent, too, and acted as a team with her father to bring down The Alliance. They finally did this, much to the surprise of her partner, Dixon, and the tech geek, Marshall. They were both brought into the CIA since they had no idea they had been working against the US government.

EDIT: Sloane escaped capture when they raided SD-6, thanks to his information from Sydney's mother. He had also helped to bring down The Alliance by leaking information to the CIA. The Alliance wanted Sloane to kill his wife after they discovered she was aware that he was working for them. He loved his wife too much to do this, so he made it look like he had killed her. In fact, he hatched a plan to break up The Alliance, run away with his wife, and keep all the pieces and details of the Rambaldi Device.

During her stint as a double-agent, her CIA handler was Michael Vaughn, and they grew closer and closer with each meeting. There was a lot of sexual tension, which finally got resolved when she joined the CIA full-time. Their relationship developed more during the second season.

Sydney had a friend, Will Tippin, who was a reporter and dug too deep into the mysteries of SD-6. Consequently, Arvin Sloane tried to kill him, but Sydney and her father saved him. The CIA erased his identity to protect him, but gave him a small-time job in order to help him make ends meet. He began a relationship with Sydney's roommate, Francie, and Arvin Sloane used this to his advantage. He had Francie killed, and replaced her with a double. This double gleaned knowledge from Will in his sleep and reported it back to Sloane. The double is who Sydney killed in the last episode of the second season.

Are you all caught up now?
