The place is here, the time is now, and something is happening to our Earth. Waves of destruction have been unleashed from four sites of ancient forest, and scientists are unable to explain the instability in Earth's mantle, nor the forces sweeping across the planet's surface, changing everything. As this occurs, an unlikely hero arises. Elizabeth is drawn away from her engineering career back into her estranged family to finish the most tumultuous chapter in their lives. Her father, Martin, an apparent hermit, has relented to his long estranged wife, Susan, and invited her to his cabin in the remote Northwest to sign their divorce papers. Before he agrees to sign however, Susan must bring Elizabeth and strangely Susan's and Elizabeth's companions, Leonard and Aaron, and they must all come now. Of all places on Earth, something supernatural protects Martin's cabin and shields the family from the impending doom. Yet their survival is not assured. Elizabeth must discover and control the forces that surround them, while Martin attempts to teach the family to create a belief in each other that stabilizes not just their family, but the world for a new beginning.
