Kathy wants to know what happens to New Zealand, and in particular her home area of Central Otago. New Zealand now, she is told, is the former South Island, while Pacifica, previously the North Island is now an independent country. There are other surprises too – the world has changed economically, politically and socially, but all these changes have taken years to evolve.

Kathy knows she must try to return to her own time to save her family and prepare them for the future of chaos after the disasters. Convincing her family will not be easy, but the bigger problem will be explaining to the authorities her disappearance, four month absence and her return through unorthodox channels. Kathy will need determination, ingenuity and courage as she faces these challenges.
