Planet Earth has existed for 4.5 billion years

For 200,000 of those years, humans have been the apex species

Jack Palmer had seen the movies: when aliens invade, humans will come together to save the world.

But when an alien species delivers a message to Earth, that humans have been considered worthy enough to know the secrets beyond their own star, an event that was supposed to make history only alters it forever.

An occasion that was meant to answer questions only raises more.

But one question is stuck in Jack Palmer's head...

Why did this happen?
