Crewmen enlightened by the "muties" (mutants or descendants of mutineers) return to their society, expecting to bring enlightenment to others and a return to the generation ship's purpose. A crafty political wannabe pledges to aid them, but instead uses them as fodder for his own goals. Hunted by police, they realize they must escape.
