Trent Pennington, a scientist, returns from deep space to find Earth in chaos.

The mayhem is much worse than the planet's leaders suspect. He spent the last sixteen years aboard an ancient space vessel against his will. Despite that, he has become very powerful.

To Pennington's surprise, his wife Sarah has entered politics, and risen quickly.

They have secrets that they both prefer to remain hidden. Will they work together to save the planet from Armageddon, or will they oppose each other? Will they renew their vows, or go their separate ways?

The saga progresses at a brisk pace as events unfold.

Troubled citizens become desperate. They involve themselves in nefarious plots. None understand what drives them, as impending doom approaches. The planet can only be saved by collective efforts.
