In 2065, Earth is invaded by phantom-like aliens. Most of humanity lives in shielded barrier cities. A scientist believes that collecting eight specific spirit signatures can create a wave of energy to destroy the aliens without harming the planet. She and a team of soldiers must venture into the infected wastelands to find the spirits before the military uses a weapon that could destroy Earth.
