"No! We will not be silent! We will not be enslaved! We will not be destroyed! We will be victorious!"

In 2011, HomeWorld Security Agent David Forte disappeared.

In 2054, David wakes and everything and everyone he knew is gone. He has lost so much and gained at the same time. He needs to find his purpose, and he needs to know the fate of his family.

Lucy Santos, like most everyone, has stumbled into a new existence. She uses what medical training she has to help care for others in a community called Unity Valley. But when Xeno attacks increase, President Tanner sends Firebirds to help.

Among them is David Forte, a man who says things she doesn't understand and wears a prosthetic mechanism to move. He's in pain, but she suspects the pain is more than just because of his broken body.

In finding lost family, David finds a new chance. Lucy Santos helps heal his body, his heart, and his soul. A man who shouldn't be alive may hold the knowledge and key to making sure Humankind lives. If he can figure it out in time.

Mankind reclaimed their world once and will be called to defend it again. The key to survival sets heavy on a man who is quite literally out of time and is desperate to find the answers.
