Vakov Fukasawa, a former Reaper, was a bio-enhanced soldier fighting for the Harmony against a brutal invading empire. He is now fighting on a different battlefield, taking on stormtech. Harmony injected him with the DNA of an extinct alien race, altering his body chemistry and leaving him permanently addicted to adrenaline and aggression. However, Harmony also created a new drug market that has millions hopelessly addicted to their own body chemistry.

Vakov may have walked away from Harmony, but they still know where to find him, and his former Reaper colleagues are being murdered by someone, or something. Vakov is appalled to learn that his estranged brother is involved. Suddenly, it's an investigation he can't turn down. But as he gets closer to the truth, he becomes more and more addicted to stormtech. And it's possible that the war isn't over, after all.
