En 1959, dans la cour d'une école primaire de la banlieue de Boston, une capsule scellée contenant des dessins d'enfants est mise en terre. Cinquante ans plus tard, on l'exhume afin d'en distribuer le contenu aux écoliers. Plutôt que de recevoir un dessin, Caleb Koestler se retrouve avec une feuille noircie de chiffres. John, son père astrophysicien, s'intéresse au document mystérieux et découvre, consterné, que ce dernier a prédit avec exactitude une série de catastrophes survenues depuis. En traquant les origines du document, John fait la connaissance de Diana Wayland et de sa fille Abby qui, comme Caleb, semble être en contact avec des êtres étranges et inquiétants. À mesure que s'accumulent les tragédies, John comprend que la dernière série de chiffres du document annonce rien de moins que la fin du monde.
