Taylor Bloc, a once-living being, is relentlessly driven to reclaim his existence. Along with his thirst for admiration, power, and control, he is willing to employ any means necessary to attain them. Among Bloc's kind, Sable Keech stands as the sole individual who has successfully undergone resurrection. Consequently, Bloc embarks on a mission to retrace Keech's perilous journey across the treacherous seas of Spatterjay, accompanied by a crew of skilled assassins, in an attempt to unravel his enigmatic secret.

Erlin, seeking solace in isolation to comprehend the intricacies of her eternal existence, finds herself abruptly thrust into a peculiar journey. Meanwhile, Janer returns, bearing forbidden weaponry. His mission: to thwart an agent under the control of a hive mind driven by an insatiable desire for death.

In the depths of the ocean, an alien Prador, horribly transformed by Spatterjay's immortality virus, stirs, threatening to unleash devastation upon the planet. Furthermore, an enemy ship is poised to destroy the world, determined to safeguard this secret at any cost.
