Using an experimental machine, Samuel Kaine narrowly escapes the destruction of Earth, only to end up on a planet of human-like beings without emotion. Upon finding him, they mentally scan Samuel's brain for information; an act that would alter the very fabric of their society. One by one the natural fears and flaws humans possess begin to infect the minds of the blank-slated species like a virus, birthing the desire for control and security to take hold as their new baseline thoughts. Warped and twisted, the fears mold and corrupt one being into a tyrant, threatening the balance of the new world. As Samuel desperately tries to redeem himself, he'll do whatever it takes to avoid a tragic repeat of his past and the fall of humanity.
