Four Campers Experience the Unimaginable…
A Signal From Deep Space is Detected…
NASA and SETI Scramble for Answers…
But What They Discover…Is Terrifying.

When four campers decide to take a short vacation in the pine forests of Mount Shasta, a potentially active volcano, in the Cascade Mountain Range of Northern California, it turns out they aren’t alone…

After a long drive through the Shasta Trinity National Forest, British M.I.T graduate, Tom Bishop, and three friends, set up camp in the closed-for-season, Pine Crags Wilderness Campsite, in the shadows of Mount Shasta. As they exchange legends about the mysterious mountain, something appears from the woods, which defies all logic…

At about the same time, SETI scientist Dr Lucy Davies, almost drops her coffee mug as the bank of computers she is monitoring sounds an alarm, after detecting a mysterious signal, seemingly coming from deep space. After further analysis, the discovery is even more intriguing. The signal turns out to be emanating from the continental USA, a location known as Cobalt Ridge, a glacial region on the eastern flank of Mount Shasta.

With two of Tom’s friends missing and presumed dead, following an initial investigation, he and his partner Jessica are released from the Mt. Shasta Sheriff’s Office. They soon learn however that U.K. documentary filmmaker, Richard Armstrong, is flying his film crew out to make a documentary about the events unfolding on the mountain. With NASA, SETI and the US Military responding to the rapidly developing situation, Tom and Jessica get invited back to the mountain to assist in the making of the documentary, and to search for their friends.

Meanwhile as a secret joint NASA/U.S. military mission is put in place to get back to the Moon, and the UN Security Council convene an emergency meeting to discuss the mystery signal, events on Mount Shasta become even more disturbing. Tom and his friends find themselves in a race against time to try and get to the source of the glacial signal to find out what is really going on.

Is it a hoax? A geological anomaly or a genuine extra-terrestrial signal from deep space…? Tom’s discovery defies our understanding of science however, and our place in the universe…

Buckle up for this gripping, edge of your seat science fiction mystery thriller…
