In the depths of a natural world untouched by humankind, the impossible has emerged: a young boy and his mother living alone in a sphere.
The boy has never seen another human being — not even his father who died before he was born. And fearing the inevitable solitude should he outlive his mother, the boy spends his days searching for a second impossibility: others like them.
Could others have defied all odds to emerge from a sphere like theirs? A sphere buried deep in hibernation underground to outlast an extinction event. A 60-million-year-old catastrophe from which the planet has healed through time. Time taken to expel their sphere from the earth and into a new world. A lonely world that sends a desperate boy on a bold journey to a surprising fate beyond his own imagination.
