What if the Earth's natural disasters were caused by something- somewhere- bigger than we could ever imagine? What if these tragedies were actually triggered by an unseen parallel world, with creatures whose tears represent our floods, their anger our earthquakes, their blood lava from a volcano? The actions and emotions of these creatures have dire consequences for those on Earth, as Robbie is about to discover, when the Boxing Day Tsunami hits his island home. When Robbie's mother dies in the tsunami in Phuket, Thailand, the Australian-born teenager begins a search, believing someone or something is responsible for her death. It wasn't just an accident. Through an unrelenting ache and his steadfast determination, Robbie desperately tries to find out who- or what- is responsible. Fuelled by grief and alcohol, a downward spiral is set in motion, leading Robbie's girlfriend Bo to believe he is hallucinating. However when they come face to face with a giant creature, Robbie and Bo must face the truth- and The Bigger World- together.
