    Atlanta is under siege. A new, deadly hallucinogenic drug floods the streets, pushed by ruthless cartels and ignored by overwhelmed police. Tamika, a devoted social worker, presents a real plan to clean up her city—but the mayor rejects her proposal.

    Then a drive-by shooting shatters her world again, and something ancient stirs inside her. 
    A powerful ancestral force awakens within Tamika, revealing supernatural gifts passed down through bloodlines. She’s chosen to become the next Warrior Angel, part of a hidden legacy charged with protecting Black communities from threats both seen and unseen. 
    Now, as the city descends deeper into chaos, Tamika must decide: Is it enough to fight within the system—or will she cross the line into something darker? 
    She hasn’t killed. Not yet. But the question looms over every choice she makes: 
    If killing one dealer could save a neighborhood, would it be worth it? At what point—if ever—is it not okay to kill, to save the lives of others?

    A long-buried government secret is out...and it's angry! 
    In 1962, Sergeant Trent Wilkins looked forward to finishing out his military contract pulling guard duty on the underground bunker built into a field in the small town of Schertz, Texas. Little did he know, he was about to get sucked into a government cover up of the murder of one of their own top research specialists. Fifty-two years later, the secret they tried so hard to bury escaped seeking revenge on those involved. 
    Colonel Louis Reed sought to profit from what the Air Force found in that field all those years ago, and it was working. But now, following a massive explosion beneath the Samuel Clemens football field, he and his fellow conspirators find themselves in danger. ‘It’ was out and coming to get them. 
    Danny Edwards and Jay Hernandez thought high school was hard, but after being gassed by an unknown entity, and seeing shocking blue orbs flying over their hometown, they knew tougher times were ahead. Danny’s grandfather has a secret, and that secret puts him and his best friend, Jay, and the girl he loves in danger. Schertz is under attack, and no one is coming to help them, least of all, the military who’ve surrounded the city cutting off all exits and entries as they advance on the deadly, sulfuric creatures invading the sleepy suburb. 
    Time is running out fast. Can three teenagers and one old man save the city of Schertz from extinction?
