"She was the answer to all questions; the end of all human endeavors." For untold decades, the god-like intelligence known as Aqila dominated the world. Then, Aqila collapsed, and world fell into chaos. History came to know this time as the Fall. Then came the Fire. When the news broke that a cataclysmic meteor shower was approaching Earth, the world's greatest minds devised a plan to save what they could of humanity. While the world burned, they survived in enclosed cities built in the ocean, called the Hives. Now, centuries later, Asha, a brave scientist, ventures out into the wastelands, where she makes a startling discovery... Obi, a member of the cult-like corporation Zitech, experiences strange dreams and visions as a dark power awakens, calling to her... Katsuo is a soldier stationed at a high-profile event, where a shocking revelation threatens to upend the political power of the Hives... Lucas, a maintenance worker, sets out on a seemingly routine job, but a tragic event sends him on a journey that will have him questioning everything he believes... And in the desolate wastelands far from the Hives, a highwayman named Jona stalks the dangerous roads near the post-apocalyptic city known as Fiveways, where he meets a strange visitor... Each of their worlds will collide as they uncover the terrible truth that could rock the Hives to their foundations.
