The lives of three boys are put to the test in a changing world. When the planet is devastated by earthquakes and human beings seek guidance, the irrational choices of a lifetime begin to reveal a logic. What was once love or disease now assumes the character of a plan drawn up by fate in a remote age. When human patterns, weapons and vaccines prove useless, then a primordial force called "magic" re-emerges. And it will be necessary to make it his own to discover the cause of the end of the world, thus preventing the human race from becoming extinct.
