Nine men are stranded on Jupiter’s moon Europa with enough power to survive but nowhere near enough food, and as hope runs thin, a mysterious shapeshifting creature moves among them — taking the exact form each man needs most. For Bill Lutscher, that form is Lois, the wife he left behind on Earth, and resisting her becomes almost impossible when he still needs her help to survive.
