In 1959, a Lexington, Massachusetts elementary school celebrates its opening with a competition in which students draw what they believe will happen in the future. All of the children create visual works except for Lucinda Embry, who is guided by whispering voices to fill her paper with a series of numbers. Before she can write the final numbers, the allotted time for the task expires and the teacher collects the students’ drawings. The following day, Lucinda engraves the remaining numbers into a closet door with her fingernails. The works are stored in a time capsule and opened fifty years later, when the current class distributes the drawings inside among the students. Lucinda’s sheet is given to Caleb Koestler, the nine-year-old son of widowed MIT astrophysics professor John Koestler.
John notices that Lucinda’s numbers are dates, death tolls, and geographical coordinates of major catastrophes over the past fifty years, and three have yet to happen. In the following days, John encounters two of the three final events in person: a plane crash and a subway train collision. John becomes convinced that his family has a significant role in these incidents: his wife died in one of the earlier events, while Caleb was the one to receive Lucinda’s message. Meanwhile, Caleb begins hearing the same whispering voices as Lucinda.
