On the family homestead, Fern Everdean noticed strange things had begun to happen. Crops withered. Livestock suddenly died. All without explanation. When she suggested calling for assistance from bounty hunters, everyone apart from her seemed against it. Never comfortable obeying orders, Fern contacted Star Fighters Inc who sent Kris to her planet, a sexy, young but badly scarred bounty hunter nursing a hatred of pirates and an embarrassing dry spell that made him want her all the more. Together they discover sordid secrets about her planet and themselves.
