When a Warp Drive breaks on Captain Natasha Vigo's ship, her and the crew hire American Space Mechanic Del McGriff. Yet when McGriff begins to fix the drive he starts to uncover a truly sinister plot that could unravel the galaxy forever.

Skyhook, a small Oregon town, is chosen to be the new headquarters of Neo-Genentrix. Nefarious Thorne, the genocidal CEO, unleashes a genetic experiment that converts most of the inhabitants of Skyhook into zombies. Unsatisfied with anything less than complete domination, Thorne brings in assassins to hunt down the last remaining human, Bob, an alcoholic war hero and survivalist who was initially responsible for inviting Neo-Genentrix in Skyhook.
