In 1959, Lucinda Embry stands in her school's playground staring at the sun, hearing whispers. The school makes a time capsule to be opened fifty years later. Lucinda writes a page of seemingly random numbers. She is later found in a closet, scratching numbers into the door.
Fifty years later, the time capsule is opened. Caleb Koestler, son of Jonathan Koestler, a widower and professor of astrophysics at MIT, receives Lucinda's page of numbers. He sees a mysterious stranger in the nearby trees and hears whispers. Jonathan sees the numbers, notices the sequence 911012996 and realizes it is a reference to the date and number of deaths from the September 11th attacks (9/11/01/2996). Jonathan finds similar information based on other numbers on Caleb's sheet. The last three dates on the page are in the near future. There are numbers between the dates that he cannot reconcile.

While researching, Jonathan learns that Lucinda died from a drug overdose, and Caleb receives more visits from mysterious strangers who give him a small smooth stone, and show him visions of the world on fire. On his way to pick up Caleb from school, Jonathan witnesses a major airplane crash. It is the date that the numbers predicted for the next disaster; the unexplained numbers are the locations of the events.
Jonathan then goes after Lucinda's daughter, Diana, and her daughter Abby, but scares them away when he reveals his interest in Lucinda's predictions. Jonathan pinpoints the next disaster to Worth Street in lower Manhattan. With news of terror-threats, Jonathan suspects the next cataclysm will be a terror attack. He pursues a man into a subway station suspecting him to be a terrorist, but he is only a shoplifter. At that same moment an approaching train derails, smashing into the station and destroying much of Jonathan's train.
