Nachdem Captain Jace Hughes und seine Crew mit ihrem Schiff, der Renegade Star, nur knapp den Häschern der Union entkommen konnten, machen sie sich auf den Weg ins Unbekannte. Sie gelten als entflohene Verbrecher, für sie gibt es keinen Weg zurück. Doch noch ist nicht alles verloren. Durch Lex, ein sonderbares Mädchen mit einer außergewöhnlichen Gabe, wurde der Weg zur Erde enthüllt. Die Erde … bis dahin nur ein Mythos, der wertvolle Schätze, verlorengegangene Technologien und endlose Geheimnisse verheißt.

La Renegade Star è bloccata, con i motori distrutti, circondata dall'ignoto.

Quando nel messaggio viene menzionata l'appartenenza di quel mondo alla Terra, la culla perduta dell'umanità, il capitano Jace Hughes sa di non avere altra scelta se non cercare di scoprire di più. Con una tempesta di neve senza fine, bestie assetate di sangue e nessuna traccia di colonie o persone, la missione non sarà facile.

Ogni membro del suo equipaggio è un fuggitivo ricercato. Nessuno di loro potrà mai tornare a casa. Ma non tutto è perduto. Grazie a Lex, una strana ragazzina con un dono straordinario, la rotta che porta alla Terra è stata rivelata.
