On the third planet of the Sol system in the Milky Way galaxy, there lives a remarkable species. Known as humans, this race has the incredible ability to change reality through the power of belief. When enough humans believe something is true, it becomes true. The stronger their belief, the stronger the effect. No other species in existence can interact with metaphysical energies the way humans can.
For millennia, alien races have traveled to Earth in order to exploit this power. In days long past, a few thousand credits could get you anything you dreamed of: eternal youth, control over nature, clairvoyance - even the power to transform others into animals. When enough humans believed it, it became true, and convincing them wasn't much of a challenge.
That all ended once the Federation figured out what was happening. Travel to and from the Sol system was heavily regulated, and Earth became the most locked-down planet in the universe. On top of that, humans are advancing, and convincing them of the impossible has gotten tougher than ever. This hasn't stopped the flow of fortune-seekers, who even today will give up everything to get a ticket to Earth, and a chance to get something no other race in the universe can provide.
One of those fortune-seekers is Farien Aanarhi, an Earth-jumper from the planet Phaelon. Three years ago, Farien sold off his most prized possession to pay for his ticket to Earth, thinking he could easily convince humans to believe he was insanely wealthy. Things haven't worked out the way he'd hoped. He now finds himself flat broke, deep in debt, and on the verge of being deported back to his home planet. He only has seven days left on Earth, and one last chance to turn things around before he loses everything.
