In the near future, a conflict in the Middle East destroys the region's oil fields, triggering a global energy crisis. South American oil-producing nations unite into the Federation of the Americas, a military dictatorship that rapidly conquers Central America and Mexico. The Federation hijacks an American orbital weapons platform and uses it to devastate cities across the southwestern United States, reshaping the balance of global power overnight. Ten years later, brothers Logan and Hesh Walker serve along the fortified border that now divides what remains of the U.S. from Federation territory. When a Federation operative named Rorke, a former Ghost turned traitor through brainwashing, begins hunting and killing members of the elite Ghosts unit, the brothers are recruited into the squad by their father, its leader. Together they must stop Rorke, uncover the Federation's plans for a second orbital weapon, and strike back before the enemy can finish what it started.
