A nuclear war, the war of all wars, desolated Earth the way we once knew it. The few lone people that had survived the catastrophic event sought out refuge at the bottom of canyons to avoid the toxicity and radiation above. Every day, many prayed for some sort of sign, some ray of hope that would come save them from their dire situation. Food was scarce and staying alive was even tougher. Help would come from unexpected sources.Nobody ever truly believes in extraterrestrials until they're standing right in front of you. And even then, it is not totally believable. A misfit group of people that survived the war, are kidnapped to help a much larger universal cause. One that none of them ever knew existed. A few of the surviving earthlings are carefully selected due to each one of the skills that they possessed prior to the big war. An ex-navy seal, a former showgirl, a doctor, an escaped prison inmate, a former Olympic champion, and a biker gang member, despite their differences, are forced to come together quickly as they are abducted one by one and thrust into a world of unknown.They come to meet an alien general, short in stature and skin the color of night, who is the leader of a galactic army assembled of beings from many different planets. It doesn't take long to realize the mysterious general is full of deceit, espionage, and lies ... It's difficult for them to know whether to trust the small alien since he treats them well initially or to flee and figure things out for themselves. They travel to many different planets to gather information and skillsets that they will need to defeat a much larger threat than they had originally thought that looms in their future.Will the humans be able to come together in these foreign predicaments, or will adversity and the weight of these unique situations destroy them? Only time will tell...
