When their cruiser goes off course and takes them to a remote planet with a history of cyborg processing, pregnant ex-soldier Ursa and Zh Cle' math teacher Rhys are thrown together to survive. Cyborg Harvesters search for survivors, so they hide in the wilderness, taking care of young ones who escaped the crash sites. In all this chaos, Ursa and Rhys acknowledge the passionate attraction between them. Then the Harvesters find them.
