Mestiko: a world on the brink of interstellar travel - and one that is closely and discreetly monitored by the Federation. But when a rogue pulsar sweeps through the star system, threatening to destroy all life on their planet, Starfleet must mount a desperate effort to protect the planet from annihilation.
Under the command of James T. Kirk, the Starship Enterprise is able to mitigate some of the damage - but the world's surface is still devastated with appalling loss of life. Over the next three decades, the Enterprise and its crew revisit Mestiko - whether to keep them from falling prey to the machinations of the Klingon Empire or to deliver a new method of replenishing the planet's ozone - through trials and tribulations, hardship and strife, love and death.
