The planet is rebelling. Mother Nature is angry. All forms of life are attacking humans and threatening the food and water supply. Professor Lila Jenkins, working for the government's task force, believes scientific reasoning will explain everything. Her father, Rex Templeton, Chief Elder of the isolated citizens of Canamith, is convinced that the two-thousand-year-old prophecy is coming true; the end of mankind. Lila fled Canamith years ago to pursue a teaching career. Was she justified, or was it the biggest mistake of her life? While Lila frantically searches for answers, Templeton's followers are preparing to seal the door on a myriad of tunnels within the Mountains of Canamith to provide a haven from devastation. Templeton is determined to get his daughter and her family back home.

A rescue party could cost him even further grief; keeping the doors open too long could spell doom for Canamith.
