In a world where mutants are feared Cyclops and the X-men have sworn to protect humanity from any threat. A year after the team's creation they're sent on a recon mission, to tail Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. However, an unexpected ambush leaves Scott blind in the snowy mountains of Alaska, separated from his team.
Stuck with no way home Scott quickly learns he's not as alone as he first thought. When The Brotherhood finds him on the brink of death, he's forced to put his trust in the mutants he has been taught are his enemies. However, the world is no longer black and white and the words of the Master of Magnetism, a terrorist or a mutant saviour who lives in the moral gray area of life, make Scott question his own staunch loyalties.
