Nothing on the Rhealian network is private. A few reckless comments online can do a great deal of damage to a person's reputation. When Detective Joseph Pimm is placed in charge of a murder investigation, where the chief suspect is an Earth women, uncovering the truth risks putting him out of step with Rhealian society.
Born on an isolated planet, the people of Rhea have a tough life. Heavy gravity and humid conditions cause many to question humanity's place on that world. The people glorify and vilify aspects of Earth culture, as they compete for their own vision of Rhea's future.

Pimm has to decide for himself, not only where he stands politically, but how far he's prepared to go.
