25 years after the Locust War ended and the planet of Sera was finally in peace, with humanity beginning to rebuild its civilization. Still, problems arose within the newly-reformed Coalition of Ordered Governments as its government, now under First Minister Mina Jinn, returned to its authoritarian approach and began silencing any peaceful protests against it, creating a sense of unease amongst its populace and its armed forces. This unease then rose sharply when a string of missing persons case appeared within the COG Settlements and Outsiders Settlements.
Except for one: Phoenix or previously known as Settlement 2, now under the rule of Colonel Tommy Fenix, the oldest son of war heroes Marcus Fenix and Anya Stroud, alongside his organization, the COG Reformist Union or the Reformers, and his military unit, Phoenix Company. He and his organizations were very popular amongst the general populace, the disillusioned Gears, and the Outsiders Movement for the reforms they made that were beneficial. Seeing these mounting missing person cases as well as Mina Jinn's accusation towards the Outsiders for these cases, Tommy initiated a widespread investigation and sent search parties in COG Settlements and Outsiders Settlements.
However, when he personally led a search party to Fort Umson, they saw it under attack by strange creatures and thus, defended the settlements from it. Now, joining forces with JD Fenix, Del Walker, Kait Diaz, his parents and their old teammates, they must once again take up arms to fight against an old enemy, now evolved and more dangerous than ever before, as well as meeting extraordinary allies beyond their world.

His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
