What's The Story

The idyllic planet of Terra has known peace and prosperity for as long as its citizens can remember. When the last stragglers of the human race arrive in spaceships, the Terrans give the humans a warm welcome. But soon the Terrans discover that in order to survive, the humans must destroy all native life on the planet. As a peaceful race is dragged into an ugly war, an unlikely friendship between a Terran girl and a wounded human pilot holds the key to both races' survival.
