Charles is a low level drug runner with a small crew. While taking a lunch break at a strip mall, they end up in a bizarre fight with their German Shepard morphing into a manbeast and the old lady at the pizza parlor opening a vortex to escape with one of his crewmembers. As he searches for answers he learns the organization he works for is run by aliens. When an extraction team shows up to save him from near death, he finds himself on a different planet; and the leader of an almost extinct race. With his memories returned, and his past on the verge of being exposed, he now has the responsibility of getting vengeance for his people while keeping his dark secrets hidden. To top it off, he must save Earth from his power crazed lover, Halfar; the Supreme ruler of planet Azrom and the leader of the drug cartel.

The conquest of Earth has been thwarted and there is a galactic sigh of relief. Chardon takes his rightful place as leader of New Lassa while Halfar returns to Azrom to assess the political damage. A new conflict arises as the reptilian race of planet Razzna comes to collect on a broken deal made long ago by Chardon's deceased mate, Sestis. Meanwhile Modas is brewing a rebellion based on his own selfish agenda. Chardon and Halfar struggle to find a strategy that will convince their people to learn from each other, put aside their differences, and join forces once more as the Razznians lurk in the horizon ready for war.

Power can destroy the ties of an entire race. With the Razznians defeated, another battle has come to an end, yet no one feels like a winner. New Lassa is devastated from Chardon using his power in an attempt to save it. Azrom is in shambles from the Razznian armada's surprise attack, leaving the palace crumbling and their people impoverished. Planet Razzna itself has had its surface razed, forcing the population to flee, which leaves a bad taste on everyone's palate. Halfar may have gone too far with his attack. With so many secrets filled with animosity and shame now brought to light, both Azrom and New Lassa must face their own demons. Making matters worse, commerce from all three planets have ground to a crawl, alerting the Dreridians who run the trade organizations. They want compensation knowing none of them are in any shape to comply. To do so, drastic measures would have to be taken.
