But on December 21st, 2012, she and seven of her closest friends are alone while the world starts to fall apart. They realize that everyone has disappeared and they are their own. Will everything work out the end? Will she survive or more importantly, will the relationships with her friends survive?

Pandora Paige Alexander is the main focus of what the government has cleverly named the P. P. A. Project. The project is a series of government run facilities, tests and inspections to learn and replicate a rare condition Pandora has lived with for more than 90 years and yet still has the face of a 17 year old. But what Pandora didn't expect after all these years of tests and questions is that there is more to her than simply a rare genetic condition but the key between this world and another.
