Damien planned a night out with his friends, but his father is murdered, and they're running for their lives. Their only hope: find a woman named Mira. After finding her, they learn trouble has been brewing for a year. Their mysterious enemies track them down, and they flee to the place that links all the chaos: Har Megiddon dyson swarm. While there, they 'fit in like tourists' and covertly try to figure out what's going on. Their cover story gives them a reason to enjoy some night-life, but when they start getting close to answers, their progress is slowed by friendly, but uncooperative, administrators. Danger mounts, and they learn it's not just their lives at stake, the events unfolding around them threaten to plunge their benevolent Empire into a war that could destroy everything.
