He has never questioned his place in the world or his bright and illustrious future. But when a Filthy girl stows away in his cabin, Col suddenly realises nothing is clear anymore.

As Col begins to secretly spend more time with Riff, he begins to question whether everything he was raised to believe is true, and realizes that if Riff is right, then everything he was raised to believe is a lie. And Col himself may be the only person in a position to do something about it - even if it means risking his future.
