An unstable scientist escapes from the Federation Weapons Development Base with a horrific weapon; one that can kill anyone, over any distance in the galaxy, once they are tagged. The scientist, Coser, and a companion hide on a desolate abandoned planet. Coser appears to be more and more paranoid as time passes.
However, these events are actually being orchestrated by Servalan and her brilliant Psycho Strategist (otherwise known as a Puppeteer) Carnell. Servalan wants the weapon, but wants everyone else to think it was destroyed along with its creator. She orders a clone of Blake to be created by the Clone Masters. She is told that Coser will give the weapon over to Blake, even if it’s a clone of Blake.
However, one variable unforeseen by the Psycho Strategist leads to a totally different outcome. Can Blake and his crew use this one misstep by the Puppeteer to stay alive?
