Sixteen year-old Clara and her two brothers have a secret - one that could destroy their commune if anyone found out. When a race of people, thought to be long-extinct, appears outside their home, their secret is exposed. In the same day, a strange woman "spills" out of the computer that powers the commune, and claims to be the Goddess that they all worship, incarnated into flesh and blood to warn of an approaching war. Clara's world is soon turned upside-down as the woman's prediction is fulfilled, causing her to question everything she's ever known about her life and beliefs.
