One day, Earth is attacked by gray aliens.

The nation learns through this incident that these beings have been co-existing with people on Earth. They give them the name “Marginal Men” and begin to keep them under surveillance. A few years later, the world is in chaos as immigration and inexplicable terrorist acts are on the rise.
