It is difficult to say when the Immersion happened. There is little doubt as to where it began.  It was in a village.  Despite an impoverished life, the village held a community.  A community that was rich in the love of life and each other.  People that worked together to ensure that all were fed and taken care of.  Some would say these conditions are the essence of an Immersion.

Mik and his friends are at that age when the future looks infinite in all its possibilities.  Life in The Village has never seemed so good.  This year they attend the county fair as adults.  But there is a world outside that cares little for the country people and their yearly celebrations of life together.  A world where monster's prey on innocents.  A world of evil. 
In the aftermath of the destruction of their world, ten refugees struggle to stay alive.  But the Immersion has happened, and they have a greater role yet to play.
