In the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant, the need for help is extraordinary, and the USS Mackenzie is dispatched with the rest of the Fourth Fleet to bring some order to chaos.  Before they pass through the wormhole, Ambrose is contacted by his family.  Two of his cousins stole two Harris Transport ships and convinced a full crew – including Ambrose’s 18-year-old sister, to join them on a mission through the wormhole in a search for the riches of this new Dilithium.  They haven’t been heard from, and the family is worried.  What lies beyond the wormhole in the vast, unknown, and dangerous Delta Quadrant will challenge each member of the Mackenzie crew as they must find ways to help as many as they can…while searching for the lost Harris crew.
