Hope Hubris, an innocently‑born young man, is forced into flight when he protects his older sister from a wealthy scion’s violent demands on the moon Callisto. They flee with a peasant family into the overcrowded, illegal "space bubble," a desperate convoy of refugees yearning for safety on Jupiter.
The journey is fraught with danger: bloodthirsty scions chase them across the harsh, airless desert, and ruthless space pirates plunder the vessel, unleashing rape, robbery, and murder without mercy. Hope’s cleverness becomes their last hope, as he confronts the atrocities that threaten to consume humanity’s future.
Ultimately, Hope’s resolve turns to a drive for vengeance, forcing him to confront the darkest shadows of the galaxy while seeking freedom for his people.
