Plot
 |
A nano-plague has contaminated Earth's water supply, and after 60 years it reaches critical mass. The Unlights, an enemy faction, had earlier forced a population of outlaws and exiles to relocate to the Moon, where they were expected to die. The Unlights have now launched from Earth and are gathering in the south-west sector of the Moon's far side for a large ice-mining operation.
Lunar troops are sent into battle for control of the ice. One squad is shot down, and its five surviving soldiers are stranded behind enemy lines. They set out toward their extraction point through snipers and minefields with 36 hours of oxygen remaining. As their numbers fall, they make a discovery about the Moon.
It is the last Great War and lunar troops are sent into battle for the precious resource. However, one squad is shot down and the five surviving soldiers find themselves stranded. Cut off and behind enemy lines, they start a dangerous journey through snipers and minefields back to their extraction point with only 36 hours of oxygen left. As their numbers dwindle and nerves fray, they make an amazing discovery about the moon that just might save their lives.
