     psychological fantasy and science fiction narrated by
     its three principal characters: Tyler Fox, a visionary
     scientist; his wife Gwen, a pregnant former actress
     and school teacher; and their teenaged daughter,
     Leanna, whose dreams and fears about the world’s
     future cause her to disappear to a hidden, fantastic,
     and frightening place.
