Mitch Pyne is starting to realize that his premonitions - of a devastating Los Angeles earthquake - might be real.

In one night, down-on-his-luck Mitch will have his world turned upside down: a shocking phone call from a woman who knows more about his life than he does; a mysterious gift from an old friend - who has just been brutally murdered somewhere in the jungles of Peru... and the sudden return of the beautiful woman Mitch has loved all his life.

Thrust into a world he never knew existed, Mitch is forced to confront a strange new reality - a twilight world in which no-one can be trusted... but in which he will be forced to choose sides.

Because Mitch alone holds the key to a burgeoning war between two rival billionaires, each of whom represent two sides of an ancient and terrifying legacy: the truth about the human genetic code, and its power to manipulate the course of humanity.

Unless Mitch can decipher the clues left for him by his murdered friend, and quickly locate the six people who have each become entrusted with a piece of the genetic sequence that holds the key to the survival of mankind, terrible forces that have been manipulating humanity for thousands of years will trigger a series of catastrophic natural events...

...and smash the human race back into the Stone Age.
