On the planet Zora, two distinct societies coexist: the advanced Innocent residing in protected domed cities, and the marginalized Civilians struggling in the unforgiving desert. Guided by Innocent law, any Civilian can evade justice if not apprehended within three days of a transgression. Seeking retribution for his parents' murder by the outlaw Timp Sharon, Jiron Amos defies the time limit and plots to pilfer the mecha Xabungle from the trader Carrying Cargo. Aligning with the desert bandits, the Sandrats, Jiron orchestrates the abduction of Cargo's daughter, Elchi, who surprisingly empathizes with his quest. What begins as a vendetta evolves into a sweeping revolution as Jiron ignites a rebellion against the oppressive dominance of the Innocents.
