As we move closer to establishing a permanent base on the Moon, we get a glimpse of what life might be like there. Retired secret agent Jeremiah Jones must travel to the Moon with his former enemy, the Elite Ops soldier Jack Marschenko, to rescue his son - a bio-engineered cadet who has been conditioned by Dr. Taditha Poole, along with his fellow cadets, to attack Earth in an outrageous plot to unite Earth's warring nations.
Elias Leach, who has orchestrated everything in an attempt to bring the world together to fight this outside force, continues to manipulate the cadets from Earth. He sends his protégé, Lendra Riley to the Moon along with Colonel Truman in a bid to maintain that control. But the cadets' conditioning has broken down, and they have begun to run amok, following their own agenda now. They attack Earth with space lasers that were designed to protect the planet from rogue asteroids.
Also on the Moon are the genetically engineered Escala, who are preparing to depart for Mars, where they will be starting a permanent colony. Soon, the Escala are at odds with the cadets. The fragile peace that has held on the Moon begins to shatter. Jeremiah is hurt in a tragic accident and is infected with the Susquehanna Virus in a bid to save his life, while part of Eli's plan comes to fruition as many of the nations on Earth attack the Moon. As the violence escalates, it becomes clear that not everyone will survive. Who will make it out? Who will be sacrificed? And what does it mean to be human?
