Three back-to-back events happened within weeks of each other. The first was the launch of the Jupiter Mission. The second event happened within days of that when the North Korean leader decided to fire several nuclear warheads at the U.S.A. – resulting in a retaliatory strike that pushed the world to the edge of global nuclear war. While global leaders were trying to navigate the waters of a world on the brink of an apocalyptic war, a meteor veered from its course and smashed into the Siberian icecaps, filling Earth's atmosphere with dirt and ice particles, a layer so thick that it blocked the sun's rays and caused a global crash in food production and resultant starvation. It also released microbes, a virus buried for millions of years deep in that icecap, one which attacked the male physiology and not women's, killing off men by the millions, every day.
As the world reeled from this last event, and men were quickly heading towards becoming an endangered species, women were forced to pick up the pieces, and over the years, a formerly patriarchal society had morphed into one entirely dominated by women, where men, those relative few who survived the virus, were relegated to a sub-order, as workers doing menial jobs, outlawed from holding any positions of power ever again as they were seen as the toxic reason that humanity was nearly pushed to the edge of extinction.
16 years after lifting off from Cape Kennedy, the Jupiter Mission, headed by Tanner McNeal, returns and find themselves in a dystopia, where he and his men are placed in worker camps, denied their rights, and forced to succumb to the new order. Facing impossible odds, with so few men to fight with him, Tanner must figure out how to restore balance. Moreover, he has no idea that the President of New America, a brutal dictator known as Lady X, is about to unleash her ultimate weapon, one that will make men entirely redundant and will ensure her dominance - Woman EX.
