The year 2112 has been pretty dramatic for the Outcasts, a covert team of operatives seeking to protect the Church of the Moon from the madness of the alien Horus on Earth. With Allison dead by her own wishes, the Outcasts are a splintered team. Leader Bill Gram's wife Lorinda has left the team, and she couldn't have picked a worse time. Horus is moving forward with his plans to build some type of scientific research plant. He built one before, in the Salton Sea. It imploded. Now Gram and his team have to stop the disaster, and to do so they must obtain information about Horus' devious plans from his inner circle. It's this investigation that leads them to learn about slavery . . . of a different kind.
