On the planet Lusitania, tensions run high as the delicate balance of coexistence between humans and the alien Pequeninos hangs by a thread. The story centers around a child named Gloriously, who embodies both innocence and profound depth, becoming an unlikely focal point in the escalating conflict. Amidst the backdrop of this war, complex moral dilemmas arise, forcing characters to confront their beliefs about life, death, and the essence of humanity.

The struggle for survival transcends mere physical confrontation, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and the inherent value of diverse life forms. The characters must grapple with their roles in a universe where the stakes are higher than ever, and the fight for peace may ultimately reside within the heart of a child.
