Six years after defeating the last apocalypse, the now depowered Hargreeve family have separated from each other. Luther is working as a lunch time stripper and is having trouble reuniting the rest of his siblings for a family get together.

While Five is working undercover for the CIA investigating a cult called The Keepers, its leaders Jean and Gene Thibedeau are gathering evidence of other timelines that they believe were wiped out. Along with the rest of their group, they await “The Cleanse” which they believe will resolve these anomalies.

Also on the trail of The Keepers is Lila. With her suburban life with Diego not panning out like she planned she covers her investigation into the cult but Diego believes she’s cheating on him.

On his way to the family gathering Victor is kidnapped by a stranger, who enlists the former Umbrella Academy to find his daughter Jennifer who he believes was kidnapped by The Keepers.

Meanwhile as Ben is released from prison after 4 years Luther tries to reunite him with the Hargreeves. But, still angry at the loss of his real family, Ben surreptitiously feeds the siblings a shot of the alien syrup “marigold” hoping to restore his and their powers.
