In a future society, some people are chosen at birth to become soldiers, and they are trained to become inhumane killers. One of the most successful and older ones (Russell) is against a new group of soldiers, after they believe he has died. His body is left in a quasi-deserted colonial planet, where everything is peaceful and taught about other aspects of life. But in the end he must fight the new generation of soldiers again, this time to defend his new home.
