12-year-old Jamie Adams is on the train to Chicago when a blinding flash fills the sky. He wakes up unhurt but alone in the ruined train car. The crash has thrown him into a world where batteries don't hold power, the weather never changes, and the sky is always dark. The only source of light is an eerie golden glow that hangs in the east.Told that he can never return to his world, Jamie is adopted by a kindly couple in the town of Junction. As he wades into an unpredictable new life without electricity or sunlight, he realizes that this world is more dangerous than anything he imagined. Shadows roam the cornfields, causing fevers and madness to anyone they touch. Strange rips in the fabric of space, called Keyholes, draw people and objects into this twilight land. And behind it all, the rumor of a man in green, cloaked and hooded, who is said to hold the promise of light, and the threat of destruction, to any who follow him.
