Chase and Trista Leighton are about to celebrate their first year of marriage. Both serve a band of freedom fighters known as the Ghosts, and they couldn’t be happier.

Until Trista is captured by the corrupt government, the Progressive Legacy. They broadcast news of her execution, but hand her over to their Experimental Medicine Agency.

Chase's hope outweighs his grief. He launches a search for Trista. While following a lead, he and his men are ambushed, arrested, and sentenced to the Straitjacket, a ship-based facility for the criminally insane.

Systems analyst Krissa Carlisle is temporarily assigned to the ship to fix their computers. As she is working, Chase and the other inmates riot. She becomes their prisoner.

But when Chase comes face-to-face with Krissa, he recognizes her...

As Trista.
