Twelve-year-old Jessica (Jessie) Olivet and Jaxon Riley, are accidentally thrown together when their families - both on impromptu summer vacations - coincidentally run out of gas in a remote country area, mere feet from each other.
Both families meet.
The women of Jaxon's family bond instantly with Jessie's mother and six-month-old baby brother - even the fathers get along.
But Jessie and Jaxon?
Jaxon's a surly preteen who doesn't even want to be on his family's little get-together...and poor Jessie's a sensitive soul.
In any case, their lives are changed when their argument leads them to blindly fall into an underground room dug deep into one of the nearby wilderness hills, where a time-capsule is subsequently discovered. The contents inside of it throw them back to a time where they meet Bible heroes, as well as learn life lessons; lessons they will never forget.
Their discovery of a lifetime may best be fit to be called...

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff.
