Set a decade after the fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire, a former Jedi Master now lives in exile, haunted by the past and watchful over a young boy from afar on a desert planet. Trying to keep a low profile, he grapples with his failure to protect his former pupil, who has turned into a menacing force within the Empire. Meanwhile, the Empire's relentless Inquisitors scour the galaxy, hunting down the remaining Jedi who escaped execution. One particularly driven Inquisitor, ambitious and skilled, sets her sights on drawing the elusive ex-master out of hiding using any means necessary, determined to prove herself. Amidst all this, the Jedi's mundane routine is shattered when an old ally makes contact through unexpected means, begging for aid beyond just the safety of the boy.

Threats escalate as a plea for help drags the reluctant ex-Jedi into an adventure that spans across desolate lands and bustling underworlds. Encountering both new allies and formidable foes, he learns of the harsh consequences of his past decisions and the dim light of hope that his actions could reignite. Along this journey, he struggles with rebuilding his connection to a mystic energy they once wielded so effortlessly. His internal struggle parallels the looming conflict against the encroaching darkness, as he confronts not only enemies but also guilt, redemption, and what it truly means to become a protector again. As events unfold, revelations surface about those who hunt him and those he seeks to protect, setting the stage for unexpected confrontations that will challenge everything he believes in.
