Just as she negotiates safe passage out of the DMZ, Alma wrestles with a compelling reason to stay, while Skel is forced to choose between those he loves.

Alma makes it clear whom she's fighting for as Wilson's thief is revealed, Odi's kindness is returned, and Skel finds himself torn between Tenny and Parco. Then, war breaks out in the DMZ.

As Parco and Wilson shore up last-minute support before their first debate at City Hall, Alma makes a desperate appeal to the holder of the DMZ's ultimate power source.

As the clock begins on Alma's dangerous 24-hour passage into a lawless Manhattan in search of her son Christian, rivals Parco and Wilson seek approval from the DMZ's major gangs in separate bids for governor.
