UFOs. Unsolved mysteries. Artifacts from ancient astronauts. The future begins now. And everything changes. After six years away, Alex McCray returns to his hometown, Onyx, California, bearing an unusual, mystical stone. A camping trip comes to a brutal conclusion when Rupert Kline, a madman with almost limitless resources, murders Alex's father to seize the stone. Alex swears revenge and plans to bring the killer to justice.
But Kline kidnaps Alex's former fiancée to help him recover the remaining stones. In response, Alex assembles a team of friends and experts for an all-out crusade. He soon realizes there is much more at stake than he realized.
