She s made good so far, using her wits and a lifetime of privilege to keep herself and her crew above water, but with debts piling up and morale running low, it s only a matter of time before her luck finally runs out. So when a beautiful stranger walks back into her life, offering a gig too good to turn down, she can t help jumping at the chance to prove she s more than just hot air. But all is not as it seems, and before long she and her crew find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy that runs so deep it could shake the very foundations of the solar system itself.
