Spin and her companions continue to elude their pursuers. Escaped slaves, they are hunted by law, irate masters, and hunters. It's a race to find a new ship and get out of the sector while Spin's friends try to find their places in the new crew. Revenge is on everyone's mind, but pursuing Captain White is an endeavour that could cost them everything. While her friends track him and ready their instruments of vengeance, Spin pursues a different kind of revenge, one that could separate him from everything he's worked for, even his great ship: the Cool Angel.
