Sinopsis
Five years ago, ace pilot Kael was sentenced to death for refusing to kill civilians. When the Titan crisis erupted, Vance launched "Dead Man's Hand"—throwing Kael into battle. Kael soloed a Titan, then barely escaped Hagen's pursuit by detonating his mech and crashing into a river. He was saved by Dr. Colleen, and they fell in love. But Hagen tracked him down, and Vance deployed a prototype Titan. During the attack, Colleen died saving Kael.
