When two sisters find a harmless looking object in the woods, they cannot know what to what extent it will change their world - and ours - forever. The small, black sphere - mysterious, seductive, enticing - conveys a message, a deep profound biological message that will reshape our world, recasting relationships with the universe beyond our wildest dreams and worst nightmares. It holds the key to our destiny. It holds the secret to a new kind of life. It holds the embryo of a plan of alien invasion. It is so much more than just The Device.
