Unfortunately, Sam and her crewmates - the grizzled captain Jim and the emotional android Pawn - are attacked by the most merciless pirate captain in the solar system and left stranded on a distant asteroid where they encounter aliens with problems of their own. Will they overcome their differences and difficulties or will their hopes for survival crash and burn?
