Cody Oakton is the only child aboard the starship Annie Cannon. His parents, who he calls Gus and Olivia, were fined a year's pay and demoted for his birth, yet he hardly knows or interacts with them. When the Annie Cannon visits the planet Patma, Cody leaves the ship for the first time in his life. As the only human child on Patma as well, Cody is left somewhat to his own devices, but he never dreams what he will discover on his own - or what will discover him.
