Humanity, in turn, was banished from Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a last-ditch effort to reconquer the planet, the human resistance dispatches a team of android soldiers with the aim of annihilating the invaders. Thus, an ongoing war between machines and androids unfolds, about to reveal a long-forgotten truth about the world.
