Scientists claim Earth is a planet. Scientists are wrong. As quakes threaten to tear Earth apart, small divots appear around the globe. Brandon's geologist parents think they know how to stop them. Unfortunately, their theory comes from Brandon's dad, a diehard conspiracy theorist who may have watched one too many online "documentaries" in his spare time. But this time his hunch is right. The shadows of the Grand Canyon hold more than Hopi legends.
They hold the truth of not only what truly lies beneath Earth's crust, but what Earth is to begin with: a machine, created and abandoned long ago. As Brandon is dragged to the depths of this "planet" we live on, he is forced to face the fact it is collapsing. And find a way to stop it.
