How far would you go to defend your innocence? After being accused of a crime he did not commit, Vance Trainor is beaten and left to die at the hands of the sadistic Odyssian soldiers. But a friendly alien saves him and takes him to the Azimandian capital where he learns of his true identity. He is the prince of an alien empire set on conquering the universe and wiping the human race from existence. Faced with this truth, Vance must weigh his options carefully for fear of his warlord father's actions. When Vance is dealing with enough as it is, a mysterious recording shows up on Rav's communicator . . . from none other than Nemo himself. The young boy details a savage attack that happened to him, pinpointing Vance as the perpetrator. Being once again accused of something he claims to not have done, Vance makes a decision to fight against the charges. Despite Rav's anger, Vance denies his guilt of the heinous crime and finds himself staring down the barrel of his best friend's .44 magnum revolver.
