When Mars Salvatore moves to San Francisco with her brother, she had no idea how much it would change her life or what she was getting into when she signed up to go to Starfleet Academy. It isn't exactly helpful to have your parents name you Mars either. Her life just gets worse when she meets Professor James T. Kirk, who just seems out to get her at every possible turn, whether its by embarrassing her in the middle of a 500-seat class or by giving her the worst possible essay topics ever (who the heck knows what a "Worf's Tail" is?). Add in a creepy Romulan transfer student who keeps stalking her, and you've got yourself a recipe for disaster....
