That is, until the day of her fourteenth birthday, when she finds out about the path-breaking discovery her astrophysicist father made years before. From a place deep inside the universe, strange beings have been reaching out to humankind for thousands of years, inspiring poets - and possibly also scientists - throughout the planet. Angela understands she has to fulfill what her father started, and reconnect with the members of an organization which had fallen apart after his death. However, darkness lurks close, and Angela realizes with the help of her newfound friends that she might be threatened by the same mysterious enemy who murdered her parents. The barely reconstructed organization undergoes considerable strain as friends become enemies and enemies become friends.And as all seems to fall apart, Angela is reminded how the first way to begin to understand the world we live in is to open our eyes to its beauty.
