Jim Phillips is one of six American super soldiers known as Hellbenders. A team of superbly trained fighters gilded head to toe in specially designed suits of armor. Each virtually indestructible to any known weapon on Earth. It is only when Jim and his team are suddenly thrust into a seemingly unwinnable global war that the strength of their armor is put to the test as well as the virtue of their character. From out of the shadows, a conflict brought forth by an unknown enemy is set in motion to determine mankind's future on this planet. The Hellbenders must battle through cities, deserts, oceans and secret bunkers to end the merciless onslaught unleashed by the sadistic hands of their new foe. All while trying to understand the prophetic nightmares that haunt Jim's hours of sleep.

Along the way a young American pilot (Isaac Richards) having even less knowledge of the situation, is forced to survive in any way he can as he is relentlessly pursued by the enemy soldiers. Lacking training and friends, only by Isaac's determination to get home will he endure bitter hardships and physical ailments as he attempts to evade capture. Though his enemies are strong and numerous, Isaac's unwavering drive to push through any obstacle will determine his life or death on the run.
