Josh is confused to discover that he’s been released from jail. As he tries to make sense of this, he quickly realizes that all is not as it seems in his world. A new nefarious plan is afoot and Josh is being pulled into it whether he likes it or not.

Tiger and Wolf arrive in the future they created. Tiger is not welcome in The NAG (The New Above Ground) so she heads to The Mons where she learns humanity is moving to Mars, her DNA created the cure, and Stu Camillo is alive and well in hologram form.

Wolf is mistaken for Torque (the Wolf in this timeline) and he goes with it – learning about the NAG, and its 6-parent families and hatred of technology. Wolf tries to escape but the appeal of this new, strange world makes it hard for him to leave.

As Tiger gets to know her doppelganger Ty-Anne, Wolf acclimates to the NAG, and Josh wanders the desert. Josh is brought to the NAG and remanded to indentured servitude as a technology smasher.

Tiger uses Stu’s fondness for her to help her track down Athena. Meanwhile, Josh is now a “Smasher” remanded to a labor camp, where the Pointed Circle comes after him. Wolf, vowing to improve the NAG, faces off against Supreme Overlord Vice.

Wolf, ignoring warnings about the Pointed Circle, brings Josh to live outside his Clusternest. Tiger reaches a dead end in her quest for the TTD.

Stu introduces a depressed Tiger to his simulation – where anything can be reality, drawing them closer than ever before.

Stu sends commandos to abduct Josh in the NAG – chaos and bloodshed ensue. Josh and Wolf learn the identity of Achilles, the elusive leader of the Pointed Circle.

Ty-Anne shares the story of growing up with Stu as her father and her early exposure to The Pointed Circle. Josh believes he’s the key to stopping Stu once and for all.

It’s the day of the MARS launch. Josh goes on a suicide mission to sneak into Stu’s upload machine to shut him down for good.

Armed with the newly discovered TTD, our team uses an 11-second window to jump back in time over and over to reach Stu’s brain and destroy it.

Having messed with time travel one too many times, Josh, Tiger, and Wolf land in jail in the year 3491. Facing a death sentence for their crimes, their loyalty to each other is tested by their cruel and unusual jailer, Susan.
