On a routine debris collection mission, her world is shattered when she discovers a clue that could expose Space Corp’s darkest secrets.

Thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, Grace must navigate the treacherous void, facing not only the perils of space but also the haunting memories of her past captivity.
