Daryline doesn't understand why Penelope doesn't like anyone in the colony. She also doesn't understand why Penelope decided to run off, away from the safety that the colony provided. Now Daryline has been assigned the ungrateful task of accompanying a small team to bring back the last person any of them wished to have return. If that person could be brought back at all. On a strange planet with stranger features, the team must navigate the terrain to find their fellow colonist. If something else doesn't find them first.
