Octavia Melody and the crew of Defiance are stationed on the outer edge of Imperial space, stuck patrolling a quiet sector. That changes when they are attacked by an unusually well-coordinated group of space pirates. After her request to pursue the pirates is denied by her superiors, Octavia convinces her crew to join her and track down their assailants in spite of their orders. Now, they embark on a one-way trip in hopes of finding the hiding place of the Azure Syndicate and, possibly, a place in the history holobooks.
