NO WARNING.
NO EXPLANATION.
NO ESCAPE.

On a weekend away with his dad and his heavily pregnant stepmother, Xavier Oak wakes up to discover his family’s cottage has seemingly been moved … overnight.
Everything inside the house is the same, but everything outside is strange and new. And there’s not a person in sight.

Cut off from the world they knew and with no answers to be found, Xavier has nearly given up on ever getting back home when, out of nowhere, a second family arrive … bringing with them new politics, new theories and a dangerous new threat.

Are they trapped? Or are they saved? And, most importantly, does Xavier have what it takes to keep his family alive?
