The plot follows Tyndall, a third engineer aboard the starship Polaris, who mistakenly believes himself abandoned on an alien planet named Arrill. As he navigates this strange new world, he learns about the Arrillian people, their customs, and their enigmatic worship of a creature known as the Bugs.
