Han pasado tres meses desde que todos los menores de quince años quedaron atrapados en una burbuja conocida como la era. Tres meses desde que desaparecieron todos los adultos, dejando a los jóvenes olvidados. La comida se acabó hace semanas. Todo el mundo se muere de hambre, pero nadie encuentra una solución. Y cada día, más y más niños están empezando a cambiar, a desarrollar extrañas habilidades sobrenaturales que los separan de los que no tienen poderes. Cada chaval tiene que arreglárselas solo, e incluso los buenos se vuelven mortíferos. Pero se acerca un problema mayor. La Oscuridad, una criatura siniestra que vive enterrada en las montañas, comienza a llamar a algunos de los adolescentes de la ERA.

EN UN ABRIR Y CERRAR DE OJOS, TODOS DESAPARECEN. OLVIDADOS. Excepto los jóvenes: adolescentes, niños, bebés. Pero no queda ni un solo adulto. Y no funcionan los teléfonos, la televisión ni Internet. No hay manera de saber lo que ha pasado, no hay forma de pedir ayuda. El hambre amenaza. Los matones mandan. Y una criatura siniestra acecha... Es entonces cuando los adolescentes empiezan a desarrollar nuevos talentos, inimaginables, peligrosos, que se fortalecen día tras día. Se trata de un nuevo mundo en el que hay que tomar partido. Se prepara una pelea, y se acaba el tiempo: el día de tu cumpleaños desaparecerás… como todos los demás.
