Katherine DeLimiere thought she had it all. A great relationship, meaningful work, and a home on Earth. But it all disappears when she's convicted of gun running and leading a rebellion. Only problem is...she didn't do it. Sentenced to lunar prison rehabilitation to become a "model" citizen, she has no way out. But fate has something else in store for Kitty, and she finds herself on the run across the solar system toward the inhospitable ice fields of Europa and beyond. To make matters worse, she's seeing things, an ever present alter-ego named Carg, leading her in the most unexpected directions. Is it the remnants of the rehabilitation procedure? Or is she slowly going mad? Is this entity taking her to a new life in a faraway galaxy, or to the bottom of a crevasse on the icy moon, or worse yet, the Venusian stockade?
