With one call from the FBI, paleoanthropologist Veronica Tremain's nightmare begins. Her brother, Dr Scott Ferris, an anthropologist, has been murdered, and the corpse of his girlfriend Dr Amanda Alexander has been found in Ohio. Stunned by the ghastly news, Veronica can only recall that her brother mentioned solving a 60,000 year old mystery. Then, computer expert Dr Bryce Johnson arrives on her doorstep with a little boy who turns out to be Scott and Amanda's son, Abel. Now Veronica, Bryce and Abel are on the run, hunted by a death squad whose real target...is Abel. For he is the key linking the present to a discovery from the ancient past, an amazing truth that can forever change humanity's future - if anyone survives to reveal it...
