In this gay, erotic, science fiction novel, a small group of aliens, the Alaphin—all members of a family—become stranded in our solar system when their ship's engine explodes. They set up a colony underground on Mars. But their host, the part of their family that carries their young, died in the explosion. Without a host, there will be no new members of their family. They are amazed to discover that human biology and biochemistry are remarkably similar to their own. One of them is a doctor, and he comes to realize that humans with a particular set of illnesses might be able to host children for them. With a host, they could establish a colony on Mars.

John Peabody never recovered from the death of his lover and dog in a traffic accident. He is in poor health and is about ready to give up on life. While visiting a clinic for a health screening, he is offered a chance at an extremely high-paying job. He isn't interested in a job, but having nothing better to do, he agrees to listen to a proposal. He is flown to New York where he meets the Alaphin. He is given a chance to travel to Mars to meet the family—which is also called a host—and give the aliens a chance for a future. Will he take a leap of faith which could change his life and give it a purpose?
