The movie picks up where its predecessor, Insurgent, left off. Tris Prior (Woodley) and Four (James) escape the walled city of Chicago to explore the world beyond. They discover that their city is just an experiment and that the world outside is in chaos.
They meet David (Daniels), the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, who reveals that Chicago was created to produce genetically pure individuals to fix the genetic damage done by past generations. The Bureau is now trying to find a way to save humanity by creating a pure population through genetic engineering.
Tris and her friends discover that the Bureau is not as benevolent as it seems and that they are planning to use the genetically pure population as weapons against “genetically damaged” individuals. Tris and her friends must stop the Bureau before they unleash a war that could destroy everything.
