Former CCS captain Rain Allert goes to jail. When, it would seem, everything is over: the judge announced a death sentence, shackles snapped on his legs and arms, and a deadly faston flowed through the vein - fate gave a second chance. Waking up on a spaceship, Rain learns that he has been recruited into the Exo Matrix Corporation's secret project. He got the position of captain of the corvette "Zeus" and a team of mercenaries. It looks much better than a black plastic bag and crematorium. But Rain does not even suspect that he received a one-way ticket along with the first task. Will the Zeus team manage to get out of the heat alive and not lose themselves? How much does a human soul cost when the price of a body is zero? And what if, in fact, you are not a person for a long time?
