Someone or something has begun a new war that could wipe out all of humanity. Mother Nature wants to reclaim the Earth, and there is little we can do to stop her.

While some choose to stay and fight, others elect to establish a new home on another planet. As Texie makes an astounding discovery on Mars, Dock tries to stop the conflict that is ravaging Earth.
