Twenty years ago, a small group of galactic refugees washed up on the shores of Earth. Frightened, defeated, and traumatized, they cowered in their artificial burrows for years. Little Bit, born on Earth, has experienced none of the horrors her parents escaped; she grows up protected and pampered. When her homeworld is discovered, she starts having a strange dream where she is spoken to by the spirits of two long-dead humans, spirits that tell her it is her destiny to go to her homeworld and face the horrors her parents faced and save her people.
