An ancient artifact comes out of its hiding to wreck the global balance.
A series of phenomenal events, some good, others holding potential for global catastrophe, sets-up a race against time.
For two-years now, reports have been hitting media of increasingly strange events. Rivers altered courses. Campsites shifted locations. Limbs lost in war re-attached themselves to war veterans’ bodies. Tabloids thrive on such headlines. The problem is, that the headlines aren’t coming from the tabloids. They’re from the regular press. Even conservative papers run such headlines on a daily basis. The religious leaders take the opportunity to declare that the world is just correcting its injustices. Most global security agencies who bravely investigated such improbable phenomena, ultimately dismissed them as hoax. Ancient manuscripts don’t re-write themselves. Famous historical documents are, after all, a part of everyone’s history. Some security agencies, however, were brave enough to label their investigation ‘inconclusive.’
For the most part, such fantasy stimulates an average citizen’s imagination. People try to come up on a daily basis with a bigger and better miracle scenario and which paper would report it. Then a visitor in the National Archives Museum wonders out-loud what would happen if tomorrow’s headline read: Declaration of Independence-re-written, and suddenly everyone sits-up, wide-eyed and awake.
Mere hours later, the FBI Special Agent, Vernon Saunders is en route to Europe, tracking down vacationing Carter and Stella. Their long-planned holiday is going to be cut short—no arguments. Because suddenly it is very clear to those who run the country just what’s at stake, and that the fantasy game everyone indulged for two years, can turn deadly at any moment.
