When a massive earthquake strikes one of Los Angeles' richest suburbs, no one could have predicted the astonishing discoveries that were to follow: as a swimming pool sinks into the earth, it reveals the entrance to a previously unknown cave.
And when archaeologist Erica Tyler arrives, she knows this could be one of the finds of the century: further investigation reveals an age-old cave painting, whose vibrant colours and symbols mark the work of a shaman, and the human remains of someone known only as the 'First Mother', dating back almost 2000 years.
It is a mystery that could take years to understand, but local homeowners want the cave filled in immediately. Erica, though, is determined: her childhood of foster homes meant she grew up never knowing her real identity and the First Mother, she decides, is not going to be consigned to history in the same manner . . .
