How do you win a war when you have already lost everything you cared about? Kal Norman had given up. After tragedy destroyed his life, he turned his back on everything he had known and wandered the galaxy, trying to run from a past he would rather forget.

Their chances are slim. Kal must accept his past and save himself in order to lead the fight to save Humanity.
