Two best friends: one a science/history geek, and the other a daredevil who is always down for any challenge or new adventures. One chosen for her knowledge of ancient ruins, while the other is chosen as a well known survivalist. Together the pair travel on an expedition with a small military escort, other science nerds, and other miscellaneous sorts. Their mission for their boss with deep pockets? To explore an ancient, abandoned planet for potential human colonization. However, they soon realize the planet is not as abandoned as it seems, as they begin to fall victim to parasitic serpent-like aliens. But wait, there's more. Invisible deadly forces, AND unidentified monsters in the forests? What is to become of our colonizers as they become stuck as extras and then mice in this game of Cat and Mouse?
