Jules and Izzy, as children, were inseparable companions. They would scale the towers of Batuu, create imaginative games, and envision shared future adventures. However, Izzy's family departed unexpectedly, leaving no opportunity for farewells. Izzy's existence became a nomadic one, moving from planet to planet, until the tragic loss of her parents led her to become a small-time smuggler to survive. Jules, in contrast, remained on Batuu, following in his father's footsteps as a farmer, but constantly longing for something more fulfilling.
Now, thirteen years following her departure, Izzy has made her way back to Batuu. She has taken a job to deliver a package of unknown contents, with the sole aim of completing the task and leaving once more. However, upon her arrival at Black Spire Outpost, she unexpectedly encounters the one individual who still holds significance for her: Jules. The mutual attraction between them sparks immediately and intensely.
Despite Jules embodying everything she has ever desired, Izzy finds herself hesitant. How can she possibly involve such an innocent man in the dangerous lifestyle she has embraced?
Jules has been uncertain about the path his life would take, but his only certainty now is his desire to be with Izzy. How can he possibly convince her to take a chance on someone who has never ventured beyond the familiar confines of their home planet?
When Izzy's assignment takes a turn for the worse, the two childhood friends are forced to flee. As they struggle to survive, all of their hidden secrets will inevitably surface....
