John is a Red, one of the miners who toil beneath the surface of Mars as part of humanity's effort to terraform the planet to one day make it habitable for those stuck on a dying Earth. Subterranean life is simple; John spends most of his days mining Helium-3, and any free time he may have with the love of his life, his wife Melissa But John and his fellow Reds have been betrayed. He discovers that humanity colonized the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wild forests spread across the planet. John - and everyone he has ever known - are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class enjoying every luxury while he and the rest of his Color struggle to fend off starvation. Inspired by the actions of those close to him and driven by the memory of lost love, John leaves his Red life behind and joins the rebel organization known as the Sons of anarchy. With his appearance changed, his body and mind enhanced, and his rage harnessed, John is tasked with infiltrating the strict hierarchy of the Golds and rising to a position of power so that he may destroy the Society from within
