While hunting bounties on Mars, Dante and Luc are attacked by The Raiders, a vicious tribe of spacefaring barbarians known for their propensity to abduct children. Dante struggles between his sense of justice and his desire for vengeance as he confronts his tormentors.

Dante's crew capture an alleged murderer, wanted by The Orchard, who turns out to be Luc's ex-husband, Eric. Torn between an old flame and new duties, Luc must decide her ex-lover's fate as time eats away at their options, with the Orchard hot on their heels.

A cryogenic chamber in an abandoned section of the Trans-Utopian is accidentally powered up, and the legendary Colonel Bramwell emerges from his 50-year sleep. His war is over, but his mission remains: Destroy the Raiders at all costs... and everyone is expendable.
