A 17 year old high school student named Emma Hayes is contacted by an alien named Srenyi from the galaxy Centauras A. He provides her information about a calamitous event set to befall earth in one million days. The revelation sets off a stunning chain of events on earth, resulting in an ordinary teenage girl finding herself forced into a heart-pounding race against time, and acceptance of the challenge to save the human race. Along the way there is a startling glimpse into what extra-terrestrials are like- or perhaps more terrifyingly, what humans are really like.
