It all starts with the unreported story—the earth-shattering catastrophe in which Renton's father vanished. Only Adroc Thurston, with the strange pilot Eureka at his side, could rectify his own error, triggering the event that transformed everything and won him the title of hero. Ten years later, Eureka is in severe condition after Renton abandons the Gekko's crew. But when he finds himself in the care of his father's old acquaintances, he is faced with a decision. Either he stays with the lovely family he's always desired, or he earns the affection he craves.
