   Summary

   After what is meant to be a routine checkup, Donatello stumbles upon the unsettling truth: the Leonardo they thought they knew is actually a clone, implanted with all the memories of their real brother. The shocking revelation that their oldest brother has been missing for years propels the brothers on a desperate quest, alongside the clone, to uncover the mystery behind what really happened to him and if he is even still alive.
