War is coming, and time is running out.

Kevin doesn't know this. Despite the boiling global tensions, he dwells on his looming graduation with uncertainty, disillusionment, and the haunting memories of his disgraced father as he struggles to imagine the man he himself will grow into.

When war arrives, Kevin, his mom, and several classmates barely make it out alive after their city is shredded by a horrific bombardment unlike anything seen before. In the ensuing evacuation, they are caught in the crossfire as a catastrophic invasion bears down on the West Coast.

Those who survive find that it is only the beginning of their harrowing ordeal.

We have always been destined to rise above our already fascinating sentience; To evolve into something greater than we now are. Change is a fundamental essence of the reality we live in today, an aspect of life that has been here for centuries. A strand in our beautiful nature that we have learned to despise. As the saying goes, 'People are afraid of what they don't understand'. People tend to fight back against change and others embrace it. When the chance of evolution finally reveals itself to us, on what side will we be on? The side that chooses to let it soar the skies, or the side that chooses to use it selfishly? Humans are magnificent creatures, not because of their awareness of life. But for their capability to unite and divide themselves because they choose to do so. (This trilogy is dedicated to those oppressed by the violence and suffering that discrimination may bring upon them.) April 19th, 2020
