Caleb and Peter are assigned to surveillance teams that remotely monitor Chicago, and Christina and Four are assigned to the military. Tris is shown to be truly Divergent and the first Chicago Divergent to be 100% genetically pure, but Four's genetic structure indicates that his genes still carry damage. Matthew and Nita test Tris and Four to verify and to study their Divergence. To try to reverse the destruction, a series of "experiments" was set up in an attempt to repair the mistake, which established isolated cities across the remains of the world. Attempting to create a better society, it began to alter people's genes, which eventually led to the Purity Wars that destroyed most of the planet.

However, soldiers with advanced weaponry intercept the group and take the members to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, a city of advanced technology that is hidden behind a cloaking shield. Edgar ambushes the group and kills Tori, but the group escapes and passes the wall. Tris and Four rescue Caleb from execution and try to escape over the wall, along with Tori, Peter, and Christina.
