Liz Laika and her crew have gone undercover for the Fleet, posing as an off-the-books crew looking for their own space craft. Officially, they've been dismissed from the Fleet, and need to find a new ship at the Centarius Outpost. Unofficially, they're investigating a black market ring of stolen Fleet equipment.

Unfortunately for Liz and the gang, their mission to investigate stolen equipment goes off the rails on Day 1. Liz stumbles over a woman who was attacked and left for dead in an alleyway. When officials deem it a coincidence that her attack is similar to others, Liz smells a rat. One way or another, her team will get to the bottom of the case...even if Eugene has to use his artificial intelligence in ways that may not strictly be legal.

Danger is around every corner. From illegal races to a potential new love, can Liz manage to find what it is she really wants?
