500 passengers. Only 1 can survive. 7 years ago, Cora's mother died and her cowardly father disowned her to a ship for abandoned children, Station 457, to float through the stars forever. The disintegration of her relationship with her boyfriend, Evan was the last straw. She wants off, but she has no money and no means. Her only option is to stow away onto a prison ship heading for Ameatos. The Captain, who most unsettlingly has a strange fascination with her, announces a game for 1 million effos. She might've been tempted to ride it out, except Evan - who always manages to find his way back into her heart - is on board, and she may be the only one in any position to stop the slaughter before everyone on board dies. With her past still haunting her, it's not as simple as pulling the trigger. The one thing she can't do is admit her father was right.Complete
