But barely propelled into the outside world, the young girl discovers that she is the heiress of a Confederate army battlecruiser that belonged to a sinister General! Unable to maneuver such a machine, Mony goes in search of a pilot and finds Kash, a taciturn veteran eager to change his life. Together they take control of the Dolores, a ship with a mysterious past. It’s a thrilling space odyssey along the lines of Star Wars, Firefly, and Cowboy Bebop.
