The year is 1918 and Rossinia is in the middle of the Bloody Red Revolution. Many are joining the Red movement to take on the oppressive rule of Bloody Nicolai Roman II, a king whose reign is about to be contested by a peasant uprising.
One purposeless peasant is named Lukah Stas, a soldier looking to fight the wrong. During the midst of one of the battles, Lukah gets abducted by what appear to be aliens who show him how the years following the revolution will play out. Giving a purpose to his life, the Greys drop Lukah back in 1918 so he can preach his visions to the blind masses as the history plays out and the Dictator Ivan Drasko rises to power.
