They came to Earth for a mission. They didn't expect to get distracted. Raya and her team were chosen for Project Starseed 02-an elite operation designed to study humanity up close¿ and collect something far more intimate than data. Disguised as human women and sent to Miami for the summer, their objective is simple: blend in, observe, and secure viable genetic samples. It should be easy. Humans, however, are anything but. Between chaotic nightlife, confusing social rules, and a species that communicates entire conversations through facial expressions alone, the mission quickly begins to spiral. Raya's teammates are adapting in their own ways-some more enthusiastically than others-but she's struggling to stay focused on the plan.

Because before the mission even began¿ she broke protocol. One night. One stranger. One decision she can't undo. Now, as the team settles into their new lives on Earth, Raya is carrying more than just the weight of the mission-and the consequences are far bigger than she ever imagined. With secrets building, emotions running high, and the clock ticking on their eight-week timeline, the line between research and reality begins to blur. And this summer? It's about to change everything.
