In the failing Bollinger's Folly, a remote American frontier colony stranded on a barren rock in deep space, grizzled bartender Earl serves drinks to despairing colonists while dreaming of home. Their fortunes change with the arrival of Beauregard "Bug" Tumblety, a charming cowboy prospector who claims to have discovered a massive Tyberium gas deposit. But when Bug vanishes mysteriously, Earl and his fellow colonists discover the truth: something ancient and artificial lies buried beneath their colony, waiting to be awakened. A story of hope, betrayal, and frontier resilience.
