Charles and his fifteen companions were just regular people, living out their lives in the modern world. Then, one day, they wake up log cabins, thrust in the midst of an endless wilderness. No sign of civilization anywhere. To survive, they must relearn the knowledge of long dead ancestors. And what are those strange phenomena in the sky?

If there were beings in those chambers that were responsible for being separated from his previous life and his family, there would be hell to pay!
