When a new contraption called TimeBox, which allows people to hibernate through the current terrible economic situation, comes onto the market, Sigrun's family - along with everyone else - decides to sleep through the bad times. But something goes wrong, and Sigrun wakes up too soon. The city is in ruins, unruly forests and wild animals have taken over the streets, and all the grown-ups refuse to wake up. The only signs of civilisation are a band of kids like Sigrun, led by Grace - a grandmotherly and mystical researcher. The world, according to Grace, is under an ancient curse. Now it's up to them to break the curse, save their families, and mend the world before it's too late.
