A generation after a war lost, in a land without hope, an escaped slave discovers a glowing stone that may hold the secrets to heal his crooked world back to the Utopia it once was. A mythical titan rises from the ashes, and four rogues, a daredevil, and a legendary Amnesty Warrior with a hidden past, curiously cross paths to try to protect their world from the evil that originally shambled it.
