SYNOPSIS
Mankind has had to endure and rebuild from several catastrophic events throughout history.... Famines, disease, a vast array of natural disasters, and many wars have plagued mankind with all kinds of anguish and trouble... Each time however, mankind had somehow found a way to bounce back, recover and go on with life....
However after each event, some were left with a certain enduring fear of what the future holds next... We constantly hear of all kinds of meetings and world summits filled with the world’s top leaders discussing ideas on how to prepare and or avert the next disaster that awaits.... While others are either way to busy living their lives, or could simply care less what the future holds...
This is a story of the journey of a young woman named Cherise... A strong-willed realist who outside of family and her own ambitions, never really cared or gave thought to the future or what it may bring... Although surrounded by several people who strongly believe something MAJOR is about to take place that is going to change everything in the world as they know it, Cherise dismisses every attempt of anyone trying to convince her to "prepare".... She stubbornly resists any fear mongering, any newscast, End-Time Prophesy, or people who go around warning of any unsubstantiated proof of impending danger...
Until the (HOUR) arrives that affects everyone on earth, including her and her closest relative. Now on a quest for answers and normalization, she must contend several “outside” influences of this new age, while at the same time fight her own inner struggles of identity and beliefs... With the help of a good friend of the relative she has lost who happens to also be suffering loss as well, together they fight to stay alive during this period of Great Trouble....
