Three boys end up on the wrong side of a vicious Army recruiter. Joined by a disillusioned soldier, they must run for their lives through dangerous forests towards an impassable mountain range. They meet up with three girls also escaping adverse circumstances, and six of the group discover they share a dream that is both frightening and compelling, while the other one is possibly a betrayer.

Will they escape the soldiers and a reptilian king who pursues them, or will they fall prey to the frightening creatures that roam the forests and mountains? Who is the mysterious shape-shifter they encounter, and what role does he play in their discovery of who they really are and about their 500 year-old mission?
