The Beginning: Where the past, present and future collide

By Sanjana Kapoor Arun

In the year 2038, Ethan and his sister Terry see their world crumble when their father-once a celebrated pioneer in space tourism-falls from grace under mysterious circumstances. Forced into hiding by powerful, shadowy forces with unknown motives, the siblings are whisked away to the remote town of Sikkim, nestled in the serene Himalayan foothills. Here, they forge connections that will shape their futures in ways they never imagined.

What begins as an escape soon spirals into a whirlwind of revelations. Alongside people from different walks of life, Ethan and Terry are drawn into a web of secrets: ancient treasures from India's pre-colonial era, groundbreaking climate control technologies, and WWII-era innovations - each with the potential to transform humanity's future.

Though set against the backdrop of humanity's leap to interplanetary travel and a tech company's ambitions to conquer the galaxy. This is a down-to-earth story about human resilience, friendship, betrayal, love, happiness, helplessness, faith, and everything else that makes us human.

Ultimately, this is about their journey from the ordinary lives they yearned for, across oceans and boundaries, to a new reality where survival is only the beginning.
