A timeless story of a man mired in the depleted clay of earth, while above him orbits possibility in the form of other moons, planets and sentient races. Can a loser here, be a winner there? Surveilled, sniffed, and sniggered at, one lousy gumshoe gambles everything on a final voyage to those alien stars. Will their inhuman inhabitants honour what heartless humanity cannot? By its fruit, the tree will be known.
