All her life, she has just wanted the chance to explore the Surface of any one of the three planets in the Granbo System. Her chance comes when she is sentenced to a Reformatory for violent youth on the blue-green planet Caren.

To do so, she must travel to all three planets on a quest to cycle a gypsy pearl and obtain untold power.
