The Gene War has ended. The red Nari is missing and Vien has been in self imposed exile for five years on a barren colony world trying to fly under the radar. He is sick of hiding and has no intention to live his infinite lifespan, given to him by the power of the Nari, just above the poverty line. He decides to join a small team of mercenaries on what was supposed to be an easy job for easy money, but the job turns out to be more deadly than expected.
