What if an ancient prophecy chose your bloodline to save a forgotten people?
In 1762, thirteen-year-old Fred Millotte lies dying, whispering a sacred secret to his grandson Ben: a centuries-old legend of the Ultimate Refuge, a hidden paradise meant to rescue innocent souls from the netherworld. Generations later, Ben-a seventy-six-year-old retiree-steps onto his grandfather's rocky Ontario farm, determined to finish what his ancestors could not.
