The journey began eleven thousand years ago when the experiment was contaminated by civilization. Greed and fear then prevailed, and the perfect substance-the invisible force conducting the trials-left the planet. All that remained were dim memories of a paradise supplanted by avarice. In 2008, New York newspaper columnist, Norm Fuller, receives instructions from a mysterious voice. The writer is sent to explore the subterranean headquarters of C.A.U.S.E., a group of scientist working to revive the experiment. Their plans include eliminating ominous religions, corrupt politicians, and greedy businesses. Not surprisingly those factions are planning to destroy the group. Norm's allegiance to C.A.U.S.E. solidifies after an assault on the engaging scientist Samantha Carbell. His responses are limited until the voice shocks him out of amnesia pertaining to long forgotten dangerous abilities. The newspaperman races against the odds to rescue his new love, and salvage the world's last best chance for escaping the Long Journey Into Night.
