Per questo motivo, Bea decide che è arrivato il momento per lei e per sua figlia Agnes di lasciare la città. Con altre diciotto persone aderiscono a un esperimento sociale, e "Lo Stato delle Terre Vergini", finora incontaminato, accoglierà per la prima volta la presenza umana.

Instead, they accidentally discover an entire society of people living underground. Dwellers, as they call themselves, enjoy a peaceful existence away from the Estates and out of The Elements in a world called Sub Terra. There are dozens of families living in homes they call Dwellings. They live in what once was the New York City subway system. They exist as people did before The Shift.

Thrust from her home out in The Elements, having escaped from the labs of The Tyson Estates and now free from the horrors of Sub Terra, Annie with Hutch and their infant daughter, Eden, now find themselves in a world they never knew existed, Atlantica. An underwater civilization, Atlantica was built by seven friends who believed Calvin Tyson’s theory of extreme climate changes due to a drastic shift of the Earth’s axis. It was to be a temporary base of operations until scientists could find a way for their people to survive out in the harsh ruins of the Earth after The Shift.
