The empire of Riverburn was in shambles. After Gale Sparrow, the son of the mayor, turned almost everyone into mindless soldiers, the foundations of Riverburn began to come crumbling down. The Liberation Front of Emperia is still kicking, trying to save what is left of the home that they once knew. Joey Grammes, the best friend of Raven Jones, is all too aware of what is happening to everyone that he once knew. He knows what it's like to be at the mercy of Gale Sparrow's work, and what he's been through still haunts him to this day. But that doesn't matter. At least, it doesn't matter to Joey. What matters right now is fixing his life - and Raven's. Joey feels that it's his job now to fix things since his mother was one of the scientists that helped Gale get to the place of power that he's reached. It's Joey's turn to take the reins and tell his story unless something gets in his way. Namely, what if he gets hurt, or worse? And what if, this time, he doesn't wake up afterward?
