For fifteen-year-olds Maya and Arjun, life was entirely ordinary—until the morning their favorite history teacher is discovered brutally and mysteriously murdered. While the shocking crime leaves their school paralyzed and completely baffles the local police, it triggers a domino effect that tears Arjun’s world apart. Overnight, his mother and uncle display erratic behavior, hiding deep, generational secrets before abruptly fleeing town for an completely unknown destination.

At the center of this gathering storm lies a cryptic, catastrophic apocalyptic warning: The Pataala Prophecy.
