The crew of the Rocinante finds themselves caught in the middle of this conflict. They are hired by a mysterious benefactor to investigate a group of refugees who claim to have knowledge of the Goths' plans. As the crew investigates, they uncover a deadly conspiracy that could have devastating consequences for the solar system.
