Arena has left the nation's administration with a dead president and a weakened military, and while the tragic memories continue to scar her, the government struggles to regroup without its leader. For the people who still remain in hiding, it's evident the country is all but lost, and with Russian operatives taking over, the nation's hope of recovering is grim.

After reuniting with their friends, Arena's decision to stay changes when she discovers the secrets of a refugee camp behind a clandestine group of rebels known as the Southern Resistance. With an opportunity to escape to a permanent safe haven, Arena risks her life to lead the new fellowship. But the darkest days are upon them, and with a new war brewing, Arena's path will take a dark turn as her survival is in jeopardy.

Plemons continues the grim story of Arena Power's fate, testing her faith while she and her brother search for an answer to their survival in a brooding world filled with chaos.
