In the year 3000, there are no countries, no cities... Earth is an empty wasteland. In eight domed mining installlations scattered across the globe, vicious Psycho aliens grind out the mineral resources of the planet whose population they utterly destroyed a millenium ago. The scant few remnants of humanity hide in villages and remote areas, an endangered species on the brink of extinction. Apathy and superstition have suppressed all hope when one man, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler, dares to leave his village in search of a better life. Against all odds he marshals the last survivors to join him in a desperate attempt to drive the alien Psychos from this world before man is lost forever.
