Five characters--with gifts they do not fully understand-- are mysteriously brought together to battle growing pockets of darkness throughout the world: Brenda—the street-hustling tattoo artist who sees images of the future. The Professor—the atheist ex-priest ruled by logic. Andi—the professor’s brilliant-but-geeky assistant who sees inexplicable patterns. Tank—the naïve, big-hearted jock with a surprising connection to a healing power. Daniel—the institutionalized ten-year-old who can see into the supernatural realm. Thousands of animals are mysteriously dying all over the globe . . . falling from the sky, washing up on beaches, and dying in lagoons. What could it mean? When the tragedy moves from Andi’s dreams into reality, she discovers a pattern in the mass deaths, and her theory doesn’t bode well for mankind . . .
