The Federation made three mistakes:
Leaving Quinn to die.
Framing Quinn for treason.
Taking Quinn's kids.
She could get over the first two.
With her friend Tony, a man of surprising connections and mysterious family, Quinn rescues herself and the other "inconvenient" spouses left to die on the abandoned asteroid outpost. When Quinn launches her campaign to retrieve her kids, the Federation will realize taking children from their mother is the biggest mistake of all. Because Quinn will do whatever it takes to get them back—even start a revolution.
