Humans have fallen short before but this time more than ever. A despicable alien race, the Neons, have conquered Earth completely to the point where no force can defeat them. Or at least that’s what they think. When six teenagers gain possession of the energy crystals, their lives turn upside down. The stress of earth being in their hands almost throws them off the edge of sanity. The kids persist, and they crawl closer to their goal of defeating the aliens that enslaved their planet. But a sudden surprise leaves them in a trancelike state. They put a dent in the Neons, but they aren’t finished quite yet. Will a perilous setback eradicate the kids, or will it show the Neons that it will take much more than they thought to eliminate them?
