Our story begins in a crumbling future for earth where humanity is on the brink of near extinction and the rise of a new found planet causes excitement and rebellion to sweep across the people of Earth. Three years after the war of the worlds has ended; the earth is a desolate wasteland controlled by prisoners who've turned it into their playground. The government has turned raw and dangerous to the public eye after a murdering on live television at their leaders hands and they will do anything to have the trust back, whether that means gaining it or taking it by force.

Because of her sisters medical condition though she must get them to the next shuttle departing for the newfound planet known only as Grenon on time or it could very well mean the end for little Kip. As if this isn't enough to take in, on their first day of departure they have a confrontational run-in with Benut, a young convict accused of a crime of murder he didn't commit. Shea was brought up to shoot first and ask questions later but when this boy looks to her, his eyes spear her to the ground.
With no other choice than to believe his story, she recruits him into their family to take him with them to Grenon. Along the way they end up in bloodbaths and fighting in flames, things only nightmares could foretell and more problems than possibly imagined begin to arise for them, all spelling death in clear bold letters. But if they don't face their challenges head on they won't be able to make it to New York from Wyoming within the month and save not only Kip's life but all of theirs.
