Rose, a little girl from Deadwood, South Dakota, is riding her new bike when she tumbles through the ground. She awakens at the base of a square-shaped pit, the walls of which are illuminated by exquisite sculptures. However, when the firefighters arrive to rescue her, they see something much more bizarre: a little child held in the palm of a massive mechanical hand.
Its origins, creators, and intended use are still a mystery seventeen years after the strange artefact was discovered.
However, some people never stop looking for solutions.
Now a highly skilled physicist, Rose Franklin is in charge of a top-secret team working to decipher the hand's code. She is also being questioned by an anonymous interrogator, whose authority and scope are as mysterious as the artefact they are looking for, along with her coworkers. What is certain is that Rose and her countrymen are about to solve the greatest riddle in human history—and ultimately, to understand what it means for all of mankind. Will the finished product be a weapon of mass devastation or a tool for enduring peace after the puzzle's parts are put together?
