"I thought adulting was about paying insurance, filing taxes, making dentist appointments, and meeting coworkers for lunch. I never knew it included coming to grips with UFOs, which I always assumed were in the same category as belching cows who cause global warming and, of course, flat earth speculations. If I had known reality was so complicated, I would have remained in my crib and refused to come out for preschool" (Ellie B. Simpson).

High school seniors Ellie B. Simpson and Byron S. Caruso discover what no one told you in school. There exists an unseen realm that is quite real and active. It never concerned them until one night the sky was on fire, and luminescent beings came flying out of tears in the stars, riding horses with chariots and wielding flaming swords.

Because Ellie has abilities she has not yet discovered, she is drafted into service to help a trapped Guardian travel through the interrealm Omphalos to go back in time. In a bizarre twist, they go back two thousand years to prevent the crucifixion of the King that may have been a mistake.
