In 2077, Jack Harper is one of the last repairmen stationed on Earth, tasked with harvesting vital resources while humans prepare to migrate to Titan. He lives a solitary existence in a sky tower, but his mission is jeopardized by a mysterious spacecraft crash and the arrival of a woman who triggers fragmented memories of his past. As he uncovers the truth about humanity's fate and his own identity, Jack must fight for survival against the remnants of alien invaders and the secrets of his own creators.
