According to the press release put out about the game by tinyBuild, the premise of this game is that the Earth has been turned into multiple floating islands. The ensuing world was peaceful for a time, but then something happened and that peacetime has since ended. Furthermore:

You are Eva—a proud daughter of the Earners. After an scientific discovery goes horribly awry, your homeland is plunged into relentless struggle against the Swarm—a terrifying species who know no mercy and feel no remorse.

Not only you must stop the Swarm's onslaught, but also stand against the Falcons led by cruel and arrogant Kain. After seizing power in the Earners' lands to protect them from the invading monstrosities, this usurper becomes a menacing threat himself.
