A tense courtroom drama finds an alien known as a Tereskàdian accused of scratching a college student. It seems an open-and-shut case until we gradually learn there is more to the alien named Sendrhea and her whistling dragon Fharežăn. What is even more interesting is that Sendrhea will represent herself because as she says, 'Tereskàdians do not allow anyone to speak for them. We are capable of speaking for ourselves without any help.'
