Ki-Adi-Mundi, Jedi Knight of the planet Cerea, has been charged with murder, and only the high technology of the Republic can exonerate him. But this isn't the most brutal irony: Ki's own teenage daughter is an accessory to the murder! Sinister forces are gathering around Cerea, but what could they possibly want with a remote, low-tech farm world?
After Republic technology ironically exonerates Ki-Adi-Mundi, the man fighting its import, he is sent to arrest the true killer. The criminal is his young daughter's boyfriend, Maj-Odo-Nomor, who has inducted her into a youth swoop gang, the "Techrats." Hiding out in the outsider citadel, the children have struck up an unlikely alliance with Chevin smuggler Ephant Mon. Only after a scuffle in the citadel leaves an old friend dead, does the truth finally come to light.
