Faced with a low birth rate world plagued by environmental disasters, Gilead’s leaders are instituting a political regime based on religious fundamentalism, which uses women as state property.

Women who cannot get pregnant work with the treatment of contaminated garbage or look after the houses of commanders. In this cruel world, any action considered bad before Gilead can end up being punished with a series of tortures or even the death of those who break the regime.
In this new year, the story returns to follow the saga of the protagonist June (Elisabeth Moss), who was separated from her husband and daughter during the creation of Gilead. The series returns to the point where the third season ends: with June becoming the leader of a rebel and revolutionary movement.
June decides, after years of torture and sexual assault, to save 86 children born and raised there and take them to Canada, which is the main home for exiles and refugees from the new ultra-conservative nation. In the process, June ends up being shot, staying in Gilead and focusing on a new mission of trying to find her eldest daughter who has been adopted by a powerful family. Meanwhile, June’s former masters – the Waterfords – are incarcerated in Toronto for crimes against humanity.
