Just a few short years after the earth was nearly destroyed during the Birya War, mankind is striving to rebuild. The wealth of space has inspired many entrepreneurs to go into asteroid mining, which suddenly has become a cut-throat operation. A makeshift Shadow Ops force has been created to police these endeavors. Lance Bruth, on his first mission in Shadow Ops, is ensnared in intrigue that he may not be able to escape alive. Adrian Marcellus, a simple animal trainer, finds himself having to make some tough choices. Is he willing to face organized crime on the heavily defended space station to rescue people he never knew existed, nor cared about, just a short time before? Is the world destined to face yet another catastrophe, or can good overcome evil before it is too late?
