[edit] Overview
The miniseries was first announced in IDW’s behind-the-scenes book Focus on... Star Trek, tentatively titled House Call. A later interview confirmed the new title and reduction of issues from the originally announced six down to five.
The series was a sequential story in five parts, with an on-going mystery which was solved in the final issues. The series was set towards the end of the fifth season of the TNG television series. Each issue also told it's own largely stand alone story which the writers used to explore the relationships and roles of main TNG characters.
