To young Staff Sergeant Susan Bennett it was just another mission, yet when her actions were transmitted to the world via a helmet camera she becomes an instant hero - especially to a young Ciara O’Brien.

Lieutenant Paul O'Brien was only thinking about getting home to his daughter and family when a common enemy decided an embassy in Cameroon was a good place to exact revenge. With the aid of Bennett they were able to extract themselves from an otherwise deadly situation. While their heroics saved lives, it also placed a bounty on their heads.

Now, in a race to save themselves and their family; Bennett and O’Brien must make sacrifices to save lives, including leaving the only family they have to travel to a colony on a far off planet. While there, it quickly becomes apparent that not all is the way it seems, and Bennett and O’Brien must rely on each other if they plan on coming out alive.
