To Taylor, Jackie, Cara, and Veeves, it's only been a few hours since they descended into a mysterious cave to find their missing professor.
But just a hundred feet above them, years upon years have gone by. The earth has been razed of its vegetation and clean air. Most of the population has been transported away from the ravaged planet, up to Mars. The humans that remain barely scrape by with the dwindling resources they fight for.
Down below, Taylor and his friends fight for their own survival against man-hunting natives that fiercely protect a place only spoken of in urban legends. The students have already lost a dear friend, and they don't want to risk losing anyone else. So when they find out a way out of the cavern, it's immediate departure.
But what they find is like nothing they've ever seen.
Everything they know is gone, and there is no going back.
