An alien species is desperate. They are running out of food. Their last hope is to shoot messages into space. When the Silk of Terrat receive the plea for help, they decide that to risk saving creatures they know nothing about is simply too dangerous. But a young Gilk, named Rit, speaks out. Rit challenges the Silk to alter their concerns and put aside their fears. In doing so, Rit becomes involved in the most dangerous mission any Silk has ever attempted.
