Dr. Paul Kraus devoted his career to the search for what he believed to be the ancestors of humans who became extinct before our existence. Comparing DNA samples of the dead tribes and his contemporaries, Kraus discovered a pattern of changes. He himself was not able to fully decipher this code, but for many years he kept its secret. Thirty years later, technologies appeared that made it possible to unravel the secret hidden in the human genome. However, finding fragments of Kraus's research turned out to be more difficult and dangerous than anyone could have imagined. Dr. Peyton Shaw's mother once worked with Kraus, and he left her a cryptic message that would help her find and complete his work. This may be the key to stopping a global conspiracy and an event that will change humanity forever. The final secret hidden in the genome will change the very understanding of what it means to be human.
