Summary
On the eve of Dib's 13th birthday, Zim goes missing. A year later, Dib dies in a terrible "accident". 4 years after Zim's disappearance, he returns to find the Membrane family in shambles. Membrane is a shell of his former self, Gaz is trapped in the mental health facility her brother had previously been sent to, and Dib is dead. GIR had long been dismantled, his internal power core and memory chip salvaged, leaving poor, defective, outlaw Zim with nothing.
Yet, despite this, there is hope.
Membrane reaches out to Zim, offering him a space in his home. Zim reaches back, and they slowly begin rebuilding and repairing their found family. Things aren't easy, however. Gaz still blames Zim for her brother's death and her father for locking her away, Membrane still doesn't know how to parent, and GIR is really annoying. Zim is still traumatized from his time in space (which he refuses to talk about), and the Irken Empire isn't ready to let the most widely hated outlaw off so easily.
Dib's ghost still haunts the family, and they'll be forced to address what really happened to Dib on the day of his 14th birthday (and space wars!)
