Years after the discovery of new planets in the far reaches of the Andromeda Galaxy, a band of outlaws on a stolen ship will be put to the test. As their newest crew member is thrust into a world he does not know, he must learn to swim quickly or drown. The galaxy is an unforgiving place full of pirates, mercenaries, and mutated beasts. The only thing he has to rely on is his new friend on the Heavens Wing. Being pursued by the government, other outlaws, and even pirates, they must form strong bonds to stay alive. The dark forces of the galaxy pull out all the stops to recapture an artifact the crew stole.

The group's original intent was to sell the artifact but as they learn its origins they realize it cannot be put in the hands of any dangerous people. Their goal becomes that of just surviving and getting to the Andromeda galaxy to return it to its rightful home. The outlaws' morals as both people and warriors will be tested as they encounter tough choices and powerful enemies. Kai, the Captain of the Heavens Wing must decide between fighting for what is right or keeping his friends alive. There is no rest for these young crew mates. Will they stay outlaws on the run, or become the heroes they were meant to be?
