The Day The World Retreated
peers through the crystal ball of our own possible future and tells the story
of an incredible second chance bestowed by almighty God upon a broken and
unworthy man.
On the afternoon of December 31, 2020,
California is poised to sink into a sea of financial ruin. A joint bailout
package sponsored by the United States and Chinese governments falls though,
and a tidal wave of chaos is destined to sweep eastward across the US. Secure
green zones, established after the civil war threat of 2017, are to be tested
to their maximum limit during an evening of unprecedented violence that is
punctuated by rumors of war with China.
The coming New Year is viewed by the entire
world not as a cause for celebration; it is a marker of yet another season of
life without hope, a specter of misery and dread. Yet, the grace of God
embraced this very society to be the recipients of a transformation whose
culmination is at hand, but whose beginning traces its origin to 1894.
Hope for the world of the future begins in the
past with a French doctor who has the unique gift - or perhaps curse - to
intermittently live another life in a different time. Is it time travel,
teleportation, or simply mental delusion? The doctor does not know and
eventually he does not care as the desire for this alternate life becomes
overwhelming.
Over the shifting sands of time, this doctor’s
experience eventually draws four other people into a grand design that reaches
a climax on this fateful New Year’s Eve. The lives of four men and one
extraordinary woman are destined to intersect in a sequence of events that
answers one simple question.
