For Eric, Tasha, John, and their friends, a hiking trip to the mountains represents one last chance to relax, free from parents and teachers, before high school begins. But something goes terribly wrong when, as a group, they all suddenly lose consciousness.

The teens awake to a reality that is almost, but not quite, like their own. It’s as if a second world overlaps their once familiar surroundings…one in which all electronic devices are dead and the usual sounds of wildlife are completely gone.

Then they come-creatures that leave the group with no doubt that their world has changed forever.

Desperate to get home, the teens are plagued by strange dreams foretelling the development of previously unknown abilities and powers. And with every step forward comes the dawning horror that home may no longer exist.

Yet in spite of their nightmarish new world, some things remain constant. Tested friendships grow stronger, and love blossoms as two within the group discover a mutual attraction.

As time runs out, it becomes increasingly clear that civilization’s last chance just may depend on a small, hungry band of frightened teenagers.

Civilization’s last chance depends on a small, hungry band of frightened teenagers. Pray they’re up to the task.
