Chakotay has his shuttlecraft shot down (these things seem to be about as disposable as Kleenex) and finds himself in the middle of war between two factions on a planet. The group that finds him seem to be guerrilla fighters, handsome human soldiers, and the enemy are an ugly (to us) looking reptilian group. I won't go into detail because it would ruin it for some. Chakotay is taken in by a syrupy group of survivors, particularly a cute little girl, and given basic supplies to fight "Nemesis." There are some twists and turns that make this entertaining enough, but, once again, try not to think too much.
