Ben and Max are growing up on New World, living a quiet life on the family farm. Until one day a skinless, burning monster, a god, runs screaming out of the woods and disappears in the water. The Land, the native people of New World, are as shocked as the humans. The gods are a part of their ancient folk tales, but nobody expected them to appear. Soon there are more gods appearing, causing chaos and destruction. At the same time a mysterious object appears in the sky. It looks like rock, but surely it must be a space ship. Is it connected to the gods and what does this all mean for the people of New World?
When the children of New World begin to disappear one by one, the unstable peace between the Land and the humans is threatened. Ben and Max take different paths in their quest to find answers to safe New World and their existence on this planet.
