After a close defeat from an invasion, Earths people turned to Shifters. The mission is to retrieve artifacts from different planets, dimensions or even a parallel universe. With the use of a wormhole, humans were able to go through different planets and find valuable artifacts to bring back to Earth, for them to trade peace with the Invading Moon.
But with this, comes different points of view of how it really came about. Some might say, it was only an invasion, but could it be something more than that?
With so much tasks and missions to be accomplished before the return of Earths' invader, much more secrecy is being dug, much more trust being broken and a lot more of the past is being found.
Shifting into different dimensions, completing tasks and trying to save Planet Earth is hard if you can't trust anything you used to believe in. Connections of people being discovered; true origins of history are being changed but most immortally, which side is truly the right side to follow.
