Caesar has established a Utopian kingdom of apes, but faces new challenges in his renewed interaction with humans. Some of humans who survived the virus live in a small colony in San Fransisco. Some struggle to adjust to the new circumstances as they try to maintain normal lives for their families and rebuild their community. .They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
