Michael has been captured by the Clippers and brought to the evil Pruner who removes his internal clock and banishes him to a remote and desolate time-space reality. Weak and injured, Michael knows he needs to find help to stop the Pruner, not only for his own survival, but for the Collective as a whole. Thirteen-year-old Maya hears someone calling her name ... from inside her mind! Michael has succeeded in communicating with Maya and she is drawn into his treacherous story. He coaches her in meditation, setting intentions, and shifting to different time-space realities in order to evade capture. Soon Maya is practising daily, awaiting the moment she will send out a Mayday message to unite the Collective and to come face-to-face with the Pruner. Will Maya be able to contact the Collective and transmit the Mayday message before she gets caught? Will it be too late for Michael?
