"Han and Qi'ra don't have a lot in common other than not having a lot. They're just another couple of 'scumrats' in the White Worms gang on the industrial shipyard planet of Corellia, doing whatever it takes to get by, dreaming of something more. When their boss, Lady Proxima, separately offers each of them a chance to prove themselves--and get a big promotion in the process--Han and Qi'ra jump at the opportunity. They don't realize they're actually going head to head on the same mission...until the mission goes horribly wrong. Now Han, Qi'ra, and a sweet-natured Rodian scumrat named Tsuulo are on the run--from pirates, the Empire, and Lady Proxima--and will have to learn to trust each other if they want any chance of surviving. The odds are against them, but odds don't matter much when there's nothing left to lose..." -- Dust jacket.
