But upon Superior's life-support systems now beginning to fail nearly one hundred years later combined with Aurora's criminal actions that have deemed her and other prisoners under the age of eighteen and yet to experience trial expendable, she now finds herself being sent to Earth nearly a century later along with one hundred and ninety nine delinquents who have little clue on how to survive. Soon upon landing, Aurora realizes very quickly that she must put aside her harsh nature and haunting past and step up to lead her people if they are to survive. Unfortunately, Aurora and her people are not the only ones already occupying the ground, these people dangerous, deadly, and in Aurora's opinion, nothing short of savage and barbaric.
