Leo Pace is a down-on-his-luck smuggler running garbage routes in a beat-up ship with his brilliant partner Elara. When a routine delivery goes wrong, he ends up 2.4 million credits in debt to a crime lord, thanks to his weaselly rival Jax Roderick. Forced to steal incriminating data from a corrupt senator aboard a luxury starliner, Leo discovers he's been set up as a patsy. With humor, heart, and a surprisingly helpful squirrel, Leo must outsmart everyone to survive. A fast-paced space adventure about friendship, second chances, and knowing when to double-cross the double-crosser.
