Kyle begins his new life with the man who created him: Adam Baylin. But as Kyle learns more about who he is and how he came to be, his life only gets more complicated. Was Kyle right to trade life with the Tragers for life with the man who created him as a science experiment? The man who abandoned Kyle to life in a pod to save his own life? Before Kyle can resolve his feelings, agents of zzyzx – the lab where Kyle was created – assassinate Baylin, leaving Kyle alone with Baylin's protector Tom Foss. Foss destroys zzyzx's top-secret lab to end the threat to Kyle once and for all. Even though things seems safe enough for Kyle to go home to the Tragers, the threat remains. Many things survive the explosion at zzyzx, including a girl, raised in a pod, just like Kyle.

As Kyle's lies spin into an inescapable web, he finds himself trapped between the man Adam Baylin dreamed Kyle could become and the normal teenager Kyle wants to be. In the woods outside town, Kyle's podmate XX wanders naked and covered in pink goo just like Kyle did in season one. But the similarities end there. XX utters her first words and kills a man in the same breath. It's no wonder the CEO of Madacorp—the mega corporation behind the zzyzx experiments—takes a personal interest in recovering his company's lost asset, XX.
