When a desperate salvage mission goes catastrophically wrong, the crew of Firefly discovers they're not hunting for treasure—they're running for their lives. A relic from an ancient civilization resurfaces in the outer rim, and both the Alliance and something far more sinister want it badly enough to burn worlds. Trust fractures under pressure as secrets buried deep threaten to tear the crew apart, forcing each member to choose between survival and loyalty. In the vast darkness of space, sometimes the greatest enemy isn't the enemy hunting you—it's the distance between the people you love.
