Society accused Leon Granttley of assaulting his childhood friend. He blamed the incident on the voice in his mind.
The result was being sent to the Earthshine Facility where he was forced to accept his DID and told that he needed to change and blend with the 'normal' people in society.
Not long after, he was kidnapped from his home on Planet Earth and learned that the voice in his mind was none other than his reflection, Néol Yelltnarg.
While stuck on Planet Heart, the two (others) were recruited by The Neo Knights, a large group of Earth natives who were also snatched from their homes and forced to live out their reflection’s lives.
A mysterious phone call alerts the Neo Knights to a possible ambush from their enemies, The Lunae Lux. Many panic and attempt to leave Heart, but the Lunae Lux are ruthless and leave a clear warning: Stay where you belong. Stuck and afraid, tensions swell within this rebel organization.
Members who miss their families want to return to their home planet. Others suggest staying and taking down Festano - the leader of the Lunae Lux and the one responsible for switching people between planets.
All the while, Festano's army, the Lunae Lux, are closing in on the Neo Knights. To this nefarious army, it doesn't matter whether the Neo Knights remain as hostages on Planet Heart or return to Earth as fugitives.
All that matters is that they crush their spirits.
Witness the beginning of the end.
