In this anime inspired universe where a space defense system known as A.R.G.U.S. destroys the surface of Earth in the matter of 72 hours forcing survivors underground we find pilot Nadia Sawas who is assigned to the role of pilot and savior due to her prior flight knowledge. She heads out on a last ditch attempt to battle A.R.G.U.S. in the last remaining fighter jet in an bid to win the war against it. A solo mission with an uphill battle against an armada of AI controlled craft.
