On a distant planet, every country's army takes interest in people who can impact reality with their thoughts. They scramble to recruit them for their armies. Many accept the position but many also refuse. Those who refuse are kidnapped and brainwashed.
When young soldier Ruben Rivers accidentally overrides the brainwash, he begins to suspect that something is terribly wrong with his life and sets out to rediscover his life. No one could have predicted that he would end up shaking the world over.
