Daniel is an alien who has the power to conjure anything out of his imagination, including people. Following in the footsteps of his father, an Alien Hunter, Daniel has sworn to defeat the Alien villains on the list left by his father before his untimely death at the hands of the Multitude.

Living on Earth, aliens wear clever disguises but threaten to destroy humanity. Daniel hunts them down. But when Daniel crosses path with Number 7, he unwittingly goes from the hunter to the hunted, as the Game Consortium’s alien players begin to chase him to increase their arena rankings.

Daniel meets Kildare, Number 7’s son, and they strike a friendship. Kildare is very interested in ants and the prevention of their communication with each other through pheromones. This study is very important, as it turns out, because Number 7 is in fact made up of millions of ants, and he is the Multitude, the worst intergalactic outlaw to ever come to Earth.

With hunters on his tail, Daniel must find a way to defeat Number 7 before he becomes prey to the aliens.
