In a world teetering on the edge of extinction, a gifted nine-year-old named Eric embarks on what seems to be a simple road trip to visit his grandmother in South Sudan. But the journey quickly unravels into a surreal descent into prophecy, memory, and the birth of an apocalypse. Haunted by visions of burning cities, suffering children, and a mysterious smiling albino girl, Eric begins to realize his dreams are not dreams at all—but warnings. Unbeknownst to him, a four-mile-wide asteroid is barreling toward Earth, carrying a parasitic force that will transform the planet forever.
