Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, the titular antihero finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off this desolate rock is to activate an emergency beacon in an abandoned mercenary station. But activating the beacon comes with a price: it alerts mercenaries who are eager to collect the bounty on his head. Two ships arrive in response: the first, a group of rugged bounty hunters, the other led by a man with a personal connection to him.

While the first team of mercenaries sees him only as a payday, the second crew harbors more sinister intentions. As a storm approaches, offering a brief opportunity for escape, the lone warrior initiates a deadly game of cat and mouse, using his honed skills and animal-like instincts to turn the tables on his would-be captors. Trust becomes a commodity more valuable than the bounty itself as motives are questioned, and true intentions come to light. In the harsh landscape, where the line between friend and foe blurs, survival may require the forging of unlikely alliances.
