Spoiler Alert!  Read on at your own risk of spoiling the surprise!

Part 1 Summary

It is the year 2171, 25 years after the radiation from The Battery Wars forced the remaining humans into massive urban BioDomes. In San Francisco, LUCIUS VON ANGELSON, the ruthless tyrant responsible for Earth’s destruction, rises to power. Humans pay for the shelter of the dome with their freedom, cell phones and virtual reality their only escape.  Lucius is hellbent on exterminating The Surface Walkers - a tribe of human traders that mutated and evolved into superhumans inside Mt. Shasta - who are the last threat to his dominion.

 

 

SKYE BECKETT and her brother Arik are outside the dome in their biosuits collecting samples for their father’s lab, when Skye is visited by a benevolent interdimensional being who gives her a gift - the key to the future. Suddenly a Great Cougar appears, and as they are running for their lives, she loses it in her father’s garden. Weeks later, they discover that his garden - which has not been successful in producing a crop for 25 years - is suddenly flourishing.  The very next day, Skye and her family are exiled from the BioDome.  During the exile, the other humans learn that it is possible to grow food outside the dome.

 

 

The family heads for Mt. Shasta, hoping to find the tribe of traders they met 25 years ago still living there.  Along the way, as they are traversing the Jurassic landscape, they are attacked by the cougar again - but Arik is killed and Skye’s mother and father are exposed to a deadly dose of radiation.  They are rescued by JUDAH GRYPHON and his cousin CALEB, two Surface Walkers that were guided to them by the benevolent beings.  Judah and Skye fall in love at first sight. The family is taken back to the village at Mt. Shasta, where they reunite with JEROBI GRYPHON - Judah’s father and chief of the Surface Walkers.  The family is welcomed into the tribe, and soon learn about the tribes’ prophecy, and their deep connection to a pack of enormous mutated wolves.   

 

Part II Summary

The Surface Walkers attempt to heal the Beckett family, while the Beckett’s teach the Surface Walkers about the Dome.  Meanwhile, Lucius is visited by a sinister being THE SHADOW, who manipulates Lucius to submit to his agenda.  The Surface Walkers learn that Lucius is building another nuclear bomb and plans to destroy Mt. Shasta. A tribal council is convened. The Surface Walkers decide to go to war with Lucius, and plan to rescue the human slaves in the Dome.  

 

After a few months, Skye’s parents die. Caleb tries to comfort her, but Skye does not reciprocate.  Caleb’s mother, GENERAL ADINA, takes Skye under her wing and teaches her how to fight.  Judah and Skye fall deeper in love, while Caleb’s jealousy grows.  The Shadow continues to manipulate Lucius as the war effort intensifies.  Jerobi and Adina inform the young lovers that their love is forbidden - they are different species and Skye will die if they try to have a baby.  Skye realizes that she and Judah can never have a future unless she evolves into a Surface Walker.  She decides to eat the sacred mushroom (the gift) and undergo the physical and spiritual transformation, even if it kills her. After eating the mushroom, the tribe finds her unconscious and surrounded by their pack of wolves. She wakes up, fully evolved, tames the Alpha Wolf and rides it; becoming the only Surface Walker that can command the wolves, fulfilling the prophecy, and taking her place as a leader amongst the tribe.

Soon afterward, Jerobi’s old friend REUBEN BRAVO arrives at Mt. Shasta, leading thousands of humans that have revolted against Lucius and the Dome. They recognize Skye and agree to follow her and the Surface Walkers into battle. Caleb convinces the council that he and Judah will lead a commando unit to the Dome, cut off their power source, and disable their weapons. As Lucius’ army attacks Mt. Shasta, the unit sneaks past, but is unable to disable the power and is captured.  As Lucius is about to kill Judah, Jerobi arrives riding his giant hummingbird, and faces off with Lucius, his old foe.  

 

During the battle, Lucius lands a fatal blow.  As Jerobi lay dying, Skye arrives riding the Alpha wolf, jumps off and kills Lucius, avenging her family.  As they are mourning Jerobi, The Shadow appears and challenges Judah to fight to the death.  The Shadow reveals himself, and we find out it was Caleb the whole time!  The two have an epic battle, and just when it seems that Judah will lose, the beings come to his aid and Judah is finally able to harness his true power. He turns into a blast of pure energy, like a bomb, killing Caleb and evolving into an interdimensional being himself.

In the end, Skye and Judah become the new leaders of the Surface Walkers.  The humans return to the Dome, no longer slaves. They learn to use their advanced technology in harmony with the Earth, and the Surface Walkers no longer hide in Mt. Shasta.  It all ends with an unexpected twist...or does it begin?
