On a remote lake in Canada, Ashley and Justin seek an off-the-grid lifestyle, while two anomalies merge into one. A distant galaxy exhibits unusual characteristics in Justin's amateur telescope, and something under the lake is stirring. Soon military submarine chasers from two countries are involved, and so are astronomers from around the world. It's a race to discover the meaning of the anomalies, and Ashley takes an unexpected lead in the investigations. Can a determined woman who decides to tackle a remote region bring clarity to the events that are rapidly unfolding? And how will she survive all by herself?
