In the story, an artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all featuring the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. An Air Force crewmember in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan.

These and five other strangers, each summoned in different ways by the natural world, are brought together in a last stand to save it from catastrophe. The novel explores themes of interconnectedness, resilience, and the power of the natural world to bring people together. It challenges our perceptions of the Earth and our place in it, offering a fresh perspective on the importance of environmental conservation.
