Lyra is a college student trying to carve a path out in life on the planet Merth. Finding the ever shifting balance between work, life, and education, her entire world is upended when Merth is visited by an extraterrestrial outsider. The Zordax. Strange, intelligent beasts from an outside world, they come to Merth to seek temporary asylum from their home world, devoured by a black hole. With the offer of great knowledge in the aerospace industry, the Zordax immerse themselves into the cultural world of Merth. But while some residents tolerate and accept the arrival of the Zordax, others are not so accommodating. Amongst the new strangers Lyra finds herself in the throes of passion with one particular Zordax named Dez. Who shows her his world and opens her eyes to the truly compassionate nature the Zordax harbor with their great power and intellect. After a few years of residency, the political tensions between the residents of Merth and the Zordax begin to escalate. And Lyra finds herself amidst the chaos and turmoil with a difficult choice. Will she stay on Merth? Or risk it all to leave with her new family?
