Synopsis

"In 1983, a man named Michael Burns set out to create a sanctuary for scientific and technological studies. The result was the island of Ithaca--a brave, silent world of futuristic vision and limitless potential. But mere weeks after initiation, Ithaca and all of its inhabitants cut off contact with the outside world, isolating the project in its own world shrouded by mystery. Twenty years later, a young fisherman named Morgan Green is pulled into the depths of Ithaca's dark past"--Page 4 of cover.
