Plastic Little is set on the breathtakingly beautiful planet Yietta, which supports a thriving metropolis of colonists who make their living by exploting tourists and by exporting the planet\'s unique resources to the omnipresent Galactic Federation. As our story begins, the citizens of Yietta are finally about to pay off their debts to the Federation and become an independent colony. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather not let control of the planet slip through their fingers, especially when there are military projects which exploit Yietta\'s resources... Enter Tita, 17 year old owner/captain of the Cha-Cha Maru. Together with her ragtag crew, Tita specializes in capturing and selling Yietta\'s exotic life forms for the intergalactic pet store market. Through a series of accidental meetings and plain bad luck, Tita finds herself at the very core of a sinister plot to deprive the people of Yietta of all their hard won gains. By rescuing Elysse, a 16 year old girl whose father was involved in the development of a terrible new weapon, from a group of military plotters, Tita puts the lives of herself and her crew in mortal peril...but, well, a girl\'s got to do what a girl\'s got to do, and Tita\'s the kind who likes to se things through. Tensions mount as the military mobilizes their forces in a desperate bid to retrieve Elysse, who they believe to possess a vital computer code, and Tita must play a dangerous game of tag with ruthless teams of mercenaries, assassins and hired killers.
