1"Chapter 1"Philip KochPhilip Koch19 February 2021 (2021-02-19)
In a dystopian future, society has broken down into tribes. One of these is the Origines tribe, who reject all modern technology and choose to live in the woods. Three Origine siblings are out hunting together when they see an Atlantian aircraft crash nearby. Elja, the youngest of the three, finds a strange cube in the wreckage and pockets it. Another, more powerful tribe—the bloodthirsty Crows—come searching for the cube and attack the Origine settlement, wiping out most of the population and taking the rest captive, including Elja's brother Kiano and their father. Elja escapes with the Atlantian cube, and his sister Liv, who had been stabbed and left for dead, awakes next to a small stream.

Elja meets a scavenger named Moses who, after stealing the cube, rescues him from a Crow party in search of the Atlantian technology. Returning to her settlement, Liv shoots a female Crow leader, who reveals to her that the Origines have been taken to Brahtok, a fortress city that used to be Berlin, to work as slaves. As she is about to slit the woman's throat, a group of soldiers from the militaristic Crimson tribe show up and capture them both. At the Crimson camp, Liv convinces David, the local commander, to let her speak to Grieta, the Crow captive, to figure out how she can infiltrate Brahtok and rescue her family.

To gain Grieta's trust, Liv takes matters into her own hands, pretending to betray David and leading Grieta out into the woods at gunpoint. Once Grieta reveals the way to infiltrate Brahtok, Liv alerts the Crimson soldiers using a flare, and the two are recaptured. Liv later shares a passionate moment with David. Elja and Moses arrive at the residence of Amena, an electronics engineer, who repairs the cube. Elja activiates it and it floats around, displaying holograms of unknown meaning. Kiano, still trying to find a way to escape from Brahtok, witnesses two other slaves smuggling wolk, a substance that the Crows manufacture using slave labour. He tries to inform Varvara, the Crow leader, so that he may win his freedom. His plan is foiled, however, and he is sentenced to death.

Moses agrees to take Elja to find Bracker, who can help fix the cube, which no longer works. As the two are departing, Amena's home is attacked by the Crow search party. At Brahtok, Kiano's life is spared by Varvara and he joins an elite group of her personal slaves. David and Liv are preparing to lead a Crimson team on a secret assault on Brahtok, but their plan is betrayed by David's lieutenant and he is placed under arrest for treason by General Cameron, the leader of the Crimsons. Kiano remains defiant towards Varvara, and she forces him to have sex with her. Elja and Moses arrive at Bracker's base and offer to make a deal with him, but he steals their cube instead. Kiano witnesses a Boj at a party thrown by Yvar, the leader of the Crows.

Liv brings David food and he tells her she must kill General Cameron so their mission can proceed. She is given a vial of poison as she goes to meet him. In Brahtok, Kiano asks Varvara for a Boj, and she humiliates him in combat as punishment. At Bracker's bar, Moses creates a distraction so that Elja can steal the cube back. He is caught in the act, however, and forced to reveal the real reason he wants the cube. He activates it, showing an impending catastrophe. Bracker agrees to let the two go. Varvara's hope of a promotion from Yvar is foiled and after Kiano tries to comfort her, she orders him to kill himself, only stopping him at the last moment. She promises him a Boj. Liv changes her mind about killing General Cameron after speaking to him. As Elja is leaving Bracker's, the Crow search party arrives. In his hand, the cube suddenly becomes a powerful weapon.

At Bracker's, the Crow party has caused mayhem, shooting indiscriminately. Elja intervenes with a demonstration of his new weapon just as they are about to execute Moses. As the cube loses energy, however, the pair must go on the run once more. Liv accompanies General Cameron and a team of Crimsons to Brahtok, using Grieta as a bargaining chip in order to secure a truce with the Crows and help Liv rescue her family. Stopped by a checkpoint, Cameron attempts to negotiate but the Crows are attacked by concealed snipers and the encounter turns into a bloodbath. Liv manages to drag the injured Grieta into a building. David, escaped from the cell at the Crimson base, now in charge of the assault party, finds her there and allows her to escape. She is left alone at the checkpoint until a Femen party on horseback find her. Entering the ring for his Boj, Kiano discovers that he must fight his father. He refuses, but, knowing that one of them must die, the older man forces Kiano's hand, and the young Origine becomes a Bozie. Following the cube's directions to the Atlantian ark, Moses and Elja arrive at a deserted lake. Frustrated at their failure, Elja throws the cube and as it falls into the water, the ark emerges. The two step inside and the vessel becomes submerged once more.
