«I offered you peace, and you killed my family.»
After the first two episodes of Origins and the’Confrontation, Caesar lives in the heart of a remote forest with his tribe of apes. Despite their isolation, Colonel McCullough and his independent militia still see them as a threat to humanity. One night, they launch a secret attack to impose human authority. The struggle, though brief, leads to the tragic deaths of many apes, including Caesar's wife and eldest son.
The head of the clan had offered the colonel peace, but in the wake of events, the time for reprisals has come. Overcome by hatred, César sets out to find him. He is accompanied on his thirsty quest for vengeance by three wise and valiant companions from various simian races: Maurice, Rocket and Luca. The road is long, hard and dubious. It's not without its surprises, which eventually lead the ape to face the enemy; in terrible conditions, towards unexpected revelations.
