It's been one year since the failure of the Black Rebellion and
the supposed death of Zero. Britannia has assigned Area 11 a
"correctional education" status, where Elevens are made an example of
by brute force, to try to prevent any future uprisings and suppress
rebellious thoughts. Unsuspecting high school student Lelouch,
oblivious to his rebellious past as Zero, stumbles upon a scheme on his
life and the life of a mysterious woman known as C.C., who reveals to
him his forgotten purpose and his "true" self. Destroying his
assailants and declaring himself Zero once again, Lelouch sets out to
finish what he started.
