The second chapter in the Serenity Chronicles finds the Firefly crew harboring two Alliance fugitives and looking for any job they can find to keep their ship flying. The more time they spend hiding from the Alliance, the more Simon Tam fears for his sister River's mental stability as she begins to show signs of aggression that could endanger everyone on board.

Desperation will take the crew of Serenity down a dark and dangerous road. A high risk gamble to help River and a heist job for the most ruthless gangster in the 'verse will lead the crew to question their own morals - even if it leads to their demise.

The Chronicles of Serenity follows the story of Malcolm Reynolds, a soldier who fought for the losing side of the Unification War. After losing his faith in the bloodiest battle of the war, he takes to the skies in a firefly-class transport ship seeking whatever jobs he can get to keep flying. Enter a ragtag crew and some passengers with secrets of their own and you have the beginning of an epic 3-part adventure that mixes Sci-Fi and Westerns like never before.
