Against all odds, Tommy Ward survived the Darkest Storm and its aftermath, but his biggest challenge announces itself with the blare of a siren. Now, the team is in a race against time to destroy the planet-threatening ray responsible for the deaths of billions of people before the Protectorate can use it to eliminate the Gifted once and for all. To save humanity, Tommy and his team of outcasts must travel the Earth, from Cairo to San Francisco, Boston to Tokyo, and fight the Brotherhood, the Syndicate, and the Reclaimers for control of the weapon that could end life on Earth.

After doing the unthinkable and escaping the deadly Gauntlet, Tommy Ward and his friends struggle to come to terms with the price they paid for their survival.
