Starting where After Invasion: Survivors left off, James, a self stylized leader of a small band of scouts, witnessed an alien invader's ship explode and crash into a nearby forest. He enlists the help of his friend, Owen, a drifter, to investigate the downed craft and discover the Greys agenda only they find something much worse and barely escape the ship alive. Witnessing the Greys minor defeat, James finds hope where there was none before, and forms a resistance group to save what remains of Earth and its inhabitants.
