In 2369, Cardassian forces finally withdraw from 70 years of Bajoran occupation -- on the edge of explored space, a new crew takes command of a former Cardassian space station and makes an incredible discovery that will change the galaxy.

Odo, the station's mysterious, gruff and yet incredibly fair shape-shifter Constable, falls under suspicion for a Bajoran's baffling murder -- and xenophobic hatred rears its ugly head in the station's rush to judgment.
