Ted and Martha Graham trade their trailer for a seemingly too-good-to-be-true house, only to discover they've become unwitting prisoners in an alien tax collection scheme. The house travels across galaxies under the oppressive Rojac sovereignty, and the couple must face the consequences of their hasty decision—including the fate of their unborn child and potentially all of Earth.
