Admiral K'torr is on a diplomatic mission with Princess A'duna at the White House when the compound is attacked by terrorist. As K'torr and his team rescue injured Secret Service agents and suppress the aggressors, he sustains multiple injuries, which he conceals until he collapses in the council chambers in critical condition. This is a story of the meeting of Admiral K'torr and Princess A'duna, a love between them that they both try to resist because they believe it is not appropriate, K'torr's recovery from life-threatening injuries, and the completion of their mission on Earth.
