District Five has sent its best colonists it could find to Colony Negative: the planet all life spread across the universe had originated from. Colony Negative is now a playground for the other Districts to fight against, and for. Each District has its purpose to dominate the Colony, and each colonist within those districts has their own mission.

Doctor Jacqueline Deveraux, biological anthropologist, is tasked with collecting data impertinent to the future on Colony Negative for District Five. After all, studying the past unlocks the potential that is their future. She wants peace across the Districts and all their colonies. In both its past and present, what she finds on Colony Negative will haunt everything she thought she knew.

Damien Rok is an assassin for District Five. On the outside, he is tasked with protecting Doctor Deveraux when out in the field. In reality, he is tasked with assassinating targets on Colony Negative that pose a threat to District Five's power. What he finds on Colony Negative proves not every situation can be fixed with a pull of the trigger, especially when the crosshair falls on the unexpected.

Both of them hate each other and what they mean to humanity. Yet, both of them have to rely heavily on each other to survive. It isn't just a free-for-all all amongst colonists, fighting in the name of dominance for their Districts. There is something else out there in the dark...something that suggests Colony Negative should have been left alone from the very beginning.
