K9 returns to NuEarth Seven to find that an alien race has taken control of the planet's population of Earth colonists and A.I. life forms. Teaming up with a former crook and a work droid called Boxcar, K9 must use all his ingenuity to release the grip that the invaders have over the NuSev President. But how can he do this when he has never heard of or encountered the race enslaving the planet. A race calling themselves Axons...

Keeping the assortment of colourful and exotic races with their souped-up space craft is proving waring and when he realises that somebody is so determined to win the race that they will stop at nothing – including murder, K9 realises what the term ‘hard days night' really means....
