A family that lives a comfortable life in a distopic future is suddenly demoted because the father of the family has tampered with the so called score of his children.
The family tries to accommodate to their new life after father has been banned from the city. Not everyone is able to do that as easy as a loss in their score leads to less privileges.
Alex has a recording of her mother, Cato, in which she confesses that she was aware of Pieter's fraud; Milly makes a discovery in the outside world; Hanna gets involved in the resistance.
Milly is on the trail of her father; Cato's score continues to drop; Luz gets unexpected help from regulator Simons; Alex tries to get closer to her family.
Hanna gets into trouble with the resistance; Alex starts working as a spy for the Vizier; Luz gets to know regulator Simon's father; Milly gets bad news.
Milly goes to the Outer World to say goodbye to Pieter; Alex delivers her father-in-law to the Vizier; reviewer Harms discovers why the Infidels have kept Cas Wessels alive.
