The Earth is rapidly getting too small. Predictions clearly show that within a few generations there won't be enough room or resources and something will have to give. Mike Lawson, grieving for the loss of his wife and son in a tragic accident, is given the opportunity to do something about it. It seems that life has developed on Earth before and has left behind an entity of tremendous power who wants to help. Mike is asked to provide the human element. He forms a small team who work together to nudge humanity towards a solution before Armageddon occurs. But even with almost God like powers, how do you actually do that, without triggering the disaster you are trying to avert?
