After spending sixteen years on Antipode Island, the most isolated place on earth, Jake and Marie miraculously escape by passing through a remnant stump. Little do they realize, their reunion with society and modern life is about to become a living nightmare. Few things are known about remnant stumps - less than a dozen are thought to exist. The government wants to find one, knowing they have great militaristic value. Others, as they gain knowledge about this mystery, see it as an opportunity to make money and gain fame. Everyone wants to find the remnant stump that Jake and Marie came through, but it can't be located. All Jake wants is to be left alone, so that he and Marie can live a simple peaceful life - but he holds the key to unlock this mystery, and they all want it. Just when Jake and Marie believe everyone has backed off, putting them at ease, disaster strikes. Murder, betrayal, greed, and a host of other sins - they're all here. Sit back and enjoy this boxcar full of twists and turns, on a train destined to derail. No one can be trusted - No one!
