The wife of a galactic dictator makes the decision to leave her evil husband and take her three kids with her. With the aid of a bodyguard, she escapes with her brood - Aine, her 15-year-old daughter who wants to be with her father; Adam, her gentle soul of a 10-year-old son who she knows would not survive the trials ahead to be an elite ruler; and Puck, her 18-month-old - to her home world. But the dictator husband, with armies at his disposal, isn't going to let her go without a fight.
