Sixteen years after the Na’vi repelled the RDA invasion of Pandora, Jake Sully and Neytiri have built a family together, raising sons Neteyam and Lo’ak, daughter Tuk, and adopted children Kiri (born from Grace Augustine’s inert avatar) and Spider, the Pandora-born human son of the late Colonel Miles Quaritch.

But their peace is shattered when the RDA returns to colonize Pandora, led by their new leader Frances Ardmore. A year into the occupation, Jake leads a guerilla campaign against the RDA. During a mission, Quaritch captures Jake’s children, but they are freed by Jake and Neytiri, who kills several of Quaritch’s soldiers. Spider remains captured, however, and Quaritch recognizes him as his son. After the RDA fails to get information from Spider, Quaritch decides to spend time with him to draw him to his side. In turn, Spider teaches Quaritch about Na’vi culture and language. Aware of the danger posed by Spider’s knowledge, Jake and his family exile themselves from the Omatikaya and retreat to Pandora’s eastern seaboard, where the Metkayina clan gives them refuge.

At the Metkayina, the family learns the ways of the reef people, Kiri develops a spiritual bond with the sea, and Lo’ak befriends

Tsireya, the daughter of chief Tonowari and his wife, Ronal. After defending Kiri against Aonung, Jake’s son, Lo’ak apologizes at his insistence. Aonung and his friends then entice Lo’ak to a trip into a sea predator’s territory and leave him stranded. After being saved from a giant sea beast, Lo’ak is befriended by Payakan, a Tulkun—an intelligent and pacifstic whale-like species whom the Metkayina consider their spiritual brethren.

Upon his return, Lo’ak wins Aonung’s friendship by taking the blame for the trip but is told that Payakan is an outcast among the Tulkun. Later, Kiri links to the

Metkayina’s underwater Spirit Tree and spiritually “meets” her biological mother, Grace, whose consciousness lives within Pandora. During the link induced trance, Kiri suffers a seizure and falls unconscious, nearly drowning. Jake summons Norm Spellman and Max Patel for help using their medical equipment, where they diagnose Kiri with epilepsy and warn that she cannot connect to the Spirit Tree again, as doing so may kill her. Although Ronal saves Kiri, Quaritch tracks Norm and Max’s aircraft to the archipelago where the Metkayina live. Bringing Spider with him, Quaritch joins forces with the RDA’s marine

Sunday August 27, 2023 @ 2pm operations, led by Captain Mick Scoresby, and commandeers a whaling vessel that hunts Tulkuns to extract an anti-aging serum called amrita. Quaritch’s squad raids the archipelago, interrogating the tribes about Jake’s location to no avail.

Quaritch then orders the whalers to kill Tulkuns near the villages to draw Jake out.

Lo’ak mentally links with Payakan and learns that he was cast out because he went against the pacifst ways of his species and attacked the whalers who killed his mother, causing many deaths. When the Metkayina learns of the Tulkun killings, Lo’ak warns Payakan, followed by his siblings and friends. They fnd Payakan being hunted, and Quaritch captures Lo’ak, Tsireya, and Tuk. Jake, Neytiri, and the Metkayina set out to confront the humans and rescue the kids. Quaritch forces Jake to surrender, but Payakan attacks the whalers, triggering a fght that kills several crew members, cripples the vessel, and severs Scoresby’s arm. Neteyam rescues Lo’ak, Tsireya, and Spider but is fatally shot by Quaritch. Devastated, both parents go back to save their remaining children that were recaptured; upon facing Quaritch’s team, Neytiri fies into a grieving rage and brutally murders many of them, accidentally breaking her father’s bow in the process. Jake faces Quaritch, who uses Kiri as a hostage, and when Neytiri does the same with Spider, Quaritch at frst denies their relationship but desists once Neytiri attempts to kill Spider. Jake, Quaritch, Neytiri, and Tuk are trapped inside the sinking vessel.

After a tense skirmish, Jake strangles Quaritch unconscious and is rescued by Lo’ak and Payakan, while Kiri rescues Neytiri and Tuk. Spider rescues Quaritch but refuses to go with him and rejoins Jake’s family, at which point he is welcomed as a true son. After Neteyam’s funeral, Jake informs Tonowari of his decision to leave the Metkayina.

Still, the chief respectfully identifes Jake as part of the clan and welcomes him and his family to stay. Before vowing to resume their campaign against the RDA, Jake and his family accept and live their new life at sea.
