Seven hundred years in the future, a powerful alien race called the Jegg invade Earth, wiping out half of the Terran Confederation.
In a hidden base under the Sahara Desert, a team of scientists is working to mount a resistance against the invaders. Fitting an Earth ship with Jegg folding-space technology, they plan to travel to the other side of the galaxy to find a mysterious energy source – one that could help them defeat the Jegg.
Only two of the crew survive and make it to their destination: the team leader’s wife Maeve, and her teenage son Davin. What they find on the distant planet forever changes the future of their family and their planet, as they enter a race against time… and against impossible odds.
