Dr. Cherijo Grey Veil is a brilliant surgeon. Fed up with her domineering father, she flees Earth for a postion as a physician at Kevarzangia Two's FreeClinic. In an environment when humans are a despised minority, Cherijo must prove herself as each medical emergency arises, treating species and illnesses she's never encountered before.

But Cherijo harbors a secret in her past, that if discovered could disrupt the already delicate relations between human and alien. A secret that's about to catch up with her.
