Description

Ned Vince races down a winding country road, eager to meet the girl he loves before nightfall. A sudden flash of headlights and a treacherous bend send his car careening into a deep, alkaline pool, and the world goes dark as water rushes in. In his last conscious moments he clings to thoughts of home, family, and a future that seems suddenly out of reach.

When the silence lifts, an eerie chorus of unearthly clicks and whistles erupts from the surrounding canyon, hinting at a civilization long vanished beneath layers of stone. The alien sounds echo off ancient, jagged cliffs that bear the scars of forgotten wars and the remnants of a once‑great empire. As Ned’s fate hangs in the balance, listeners are drawn into a mystery that bridges a single tragic moment with a world whose history stretches far beyond human memory.
