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 on 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 furthest thing from her mind.
