Manuel is a normal American high school student until the day he drowns. Dying in a swimming pool, he has a vision that he will save the world. He is resuscitated and returns to his life, but things have changed. Was his vision a hallucination or was it real? His journey to find the answers will lead him from high school boredom to a school shooting, from his first love to a national scandal, and from a normal life to terrorism, war, global Armageddon, and possibly the next stage in human history.
