Taylor wishes for nothing more than to run away from her backwoods town and free herself from the controlling grasps of her constantly-changing foster parents. But the unexpected discovery of a mysterious stone makes her wish she could have her old life back. After moving across the country to a new home with her loving grandparents, she begins to gain unexplainable, mysterious powers from the stone. She is soon pinned in a battle between a power-hungry, war-mongering Major, and a cold Professor with his alienated gargoyle orphans. Struggling with her own morality, Taylor must now decide the fate of mankind.
