When Luciana "Luce" Estrella wakes up on an extra-terrestrial operating table, she thinks her life is over. It may as well be, with little green men digging through the contents of her chest cavity. Then, the ship of her alien abductors is raided by space pirates who decide take her along for the ride. Shanghaied in deep space and discovering worlds she never knew, Luce will stop at nothing to get back to her home planet. Little does she know, there's a good reason that her new "friends" are keeping her from Earth, and it has something to do with an abduction, a slip of the hand, and an expensive alien artifact that may or may not have been left in her chest.
