In a not-too-distant future, humankind is caught between two warring factions of aliens: the Greys (who want to annihilate Earth and erase its inhabitants) and the Morphs (who want to preserve the planet and its population for their own selfish means). The first installment of this science fiction series introduces a few of the helpless humans caught in the crossfire, including a once-secret government operative and an altogether average Joe.

The Greys' diabolical plan for planet Earth is revealed. The Morphs have sent their human operatives to recover several time travel devices which must be brought to New York City for the "Final Shutdown" between these two warring species. The Aliens' true plans are finally revealed, which involves transporting the entirety of Manhattan elsewhere, before the onset of WWIII. Is it the end or the beginning of mankind?
