Joseph Jones, the elderly president of the secret organization known as the POCF, had been asked a pressing favor by his best friend days after his largest failure. The favor was to retrieve his son, a college student known as Jimmy Pierce, to come back and see him for the first time. This, however, brings him to remember traumatizing times when he was younger.

Jimmy Pierce, a football player for the University of Michigan, is preparing for the most-challenging game of his life, the game being against his heated rival, Ohio State. Everything leading up to the game seemed well. The outcome, however, was much more surprising.

The earthquake occurred during the second quarter of the game. For an unknown reason, it occurred, destroying the city of Ann Arbor and diverting the outcomes of both Jimmy and Joe who, in some way, meet each other in the most bizarre of circumstances. Both of them finding a fight just for them to travel from Michigan to West Virginia where Jimmy's dad is residing.

Eventually, this escapade turns into something more than a rough road trip, involving disaster, ramage, and a powerful artifact that can decide the fate of the world and who gets to operate in the shadows.
