Thirteen strangers wake from stasis aboard a deep-space vessel with no memory of how-or why-they got there. A Black woman doctor with combat calm, a white salvage pilot who smiles like trouble, a Hispanic rescue diver who moves like water, an Asian botanist with a scar that won't explain itself, and a crew of young and old must survive tight corridors, colder truths, and the ache of missing lives.
As supplies thin and paranoia thickens, the ship's silence turns predatory: someone is lying, someone is missing, and someone was planted to shape their fate. A quarantine warning hums from a dead station, a ghost ship drifts like a bad omen, and every scar is a clue; there's no safe path home-only grit, desire, and the stars waiting to test them.
