On their way to start a new life, Tula and her family
travel on the Prairie Rose, a colony ship headed to a
planet in the outer reaches of the galaxy. All is going
well until the ship makes a stop at a remote space
station, the Yertina Feray, and the colonist's leader,
Brother Blue, beats Tula within an inch of her life. An
alien, Heckleck, saves her and teaches her the ways of
life on the space station.
When three humans crash land onto the station, Tula's
desire for escape becomes irresistible, and her desire
for companionship becomes unavoidable. But just as Tula
begins to concoct a plan to get off the space station and
kill Brother Blue, everything goes awry, and suddenly
romance is the farthest thing from her mind.
