In the distant future, two warring space pilots, human Willis Davidge and Drac alien Jeriba Shigan, crash-land on a desolate planet. Initially, their hostility towards each other mirrors the larger conflict between their races.

As time passes, their bond deepens, and they come to rely on one another not just for survival but also for companionship. Through shared adversity and profound personal interactions, they move past their enmity and form an unexpected friendship. They even partake in each other's rituals, symbolizing their growing connection. However, the arrival of a new challenge threatens to disrupt their fragile harmony, testing the strength of their alliance and forcing them to confront the deeper implications of their unlikely friendship.
