When a man reaches his breaking point, will he choose murder or mercy?
Ghost captain Chase Leighton’s wife, Trista, is captured by the Progressive Legacy and arrested for her affiliation with the Ghosts. Though publicly pronounced dead, she is handed over to the Legacy’s Experimental Medicine Agency. Chase searches for her, despite the news that she's been executed. He and his men are ambushed and sentenced to the Straightjacket, a ship-based facility for the criminally insane.
Systems analyst Krissa Carlisle is temporarily assigned to the ship to fix their computers. As she is working, Chase and the other inmates riot, taking Krissa as their prisoner.
But when Chase comes face-to-face with Krissa, he recognizes her … as Trista.
