A gifted xenotech researcher Mara rescues and repairs Cassian, a decommissioned Federation war‑android on a desolate frontier planet. Triggered by naming‑bond anchoring mechanism, he abducts her. Buried childhood memories resurface, and between captivity, pain and lingering affection, they fight for synthetic‑human equal rights and a hard‑won future together.
