In 1959 a group of students is asked to draw their vision of how the world will look like in the future. The drawings shall be sealed in a time capsule and stored for 50 years. All well and good, but a mysterious girl turns the paper with seemingly random numbers, which she claims will be whispered to her by invisible men.

Half a century later examines a new group of students, and the contents of the capsule and the girl's cryptic message falls into the hands of the young Caleb Koestler. But it is Caleb's father, John Koestler, professor of astrophysics, which makes a startling discovery: the encoded message predicts the dates and the death toll from all major disasters in the last 50 years. Not only that, it predicts three additional disasters, of which the last hints about the destruction of a world-wide format.

John's attempts to alert authorities about the impending disaster met with a shrug of the shoulders, and his misgivings increases when he realizes that his son Caleb in one way or another is linked to the mystery. With the help of Diana and Abby Wayland, daughter and the grandson of the author of the prophecy, he adds on a race against time in an attempt to prevent the great disaster.
