At the same time sisters It is и Powderunder the wing of the former gangster Wander, are trying to survive in the unfriendly and chemical-soaked Lower City.
Powder once stole a gem from Jace's lab, thereby revealing information about his forbidden magic research. Talis was expelled from the prestigious Academy and his life was ruined, but Victor - Assistant to Councilor Heimerdinger - gave him a chance to complete the job.
Vi and Jinx lose their foster father and two half-brothers in a factory explosion in Zaun. The first renounces her younger sister, and the girl ends up with the drug lord Silko.
The sequel begins a few years after the events of the first 3 series. Piltover is transformed thanks to hextech, and Zaun is wielded by the insane Jinx, who obeys Silko and engages in smuggling.
