Koen awakes at the Kora tree, wearing a T-shirt riddled with bullets. He must find and bring together the people of the Zone (both Hairy and human), who have scattered and disappeared across the City after the demolishing of their home.

Waruu takes a position in government for the Inclusion Initiative while Koen vows to do whatever he can to help the Hairy people.

Koen grows in power and understanding as he spends time with Uncle Jimmy. Meanwhile, Waruu discovers a dangerous new creature and is led by an old story to a substance he believes can vanquish the Cleverman.

Koen fears his powers are diminishing. Darana is appalled by Jarli's actions, while Waruu learns vital information about the nulla nulla.

Koen targets Waruu's power base and confronts him, demanding he close the Inclusion Clinic. However, Waruu is unintimidated as he believes he has a very special weapon. Slade has Waruu's hair DNA tested and is stunned by the results.

Allegiances are tested when Jarli takes action in the city. The fight is on and the brothers battle to the death for the title of Cleverman, with Waruu in possession of the one thing that can kill Koen.
