Before the driver of Fury Road, Furiosa was a child taken from the Green Place. Her journey through the wasteland is shaped by the wish to find her way home.

The ambush at Bullet Farm
Dementus seizes the Bullet Farm and ambushes them. Jack is killed; Furiosa escapes after losing an arm. She returns to the Citadel, joins the conflict against Dementus and later confronts him in the desert about the lives and years he took from her.
The story of the peach tree
The narrator offers several accounts of Dementus’s fate before showing the story that Furiosa planted her peach seed in his body.
