Ten years after a victory over an invading force, the Earth is happy and prosperous. The heroes of this invasion are all celebrated and live lives they've always wanted. All except one, William Hawkins, the sad thing is though, he sacrificed more than all of the other so-called heroes combined. He gave up his brother, his dreams, his chance at college, his own future, all to be turned against by the world when he became too old. At the ripe age of twenty-five. When he got 'too old' to fight, they turned on him, and he had nothing to show for it. Now years later a new threat has arrived and the new fighters, as they are called, are all killed by this invading force. With the human races freedom at stake, seven of the nine original fighters are called back into duty, one of them has died, and Hawkins doesn't show up, or even care. But when this original team fails, Hawkins will be pulled back into the life he hates, to save the world that hates him.
