When a huge futuristic spire appears overnight in a little Cornish town, it sparks a chain of events that shakes the world to its core.
And as half the planet descends on our coastal haven, my massive problem pales into insignificance as my normally uneventful life goes ballistic.
I'm Fileda Bullivant, in my early thirties, in love with charismatic Leon Willets - the man whose church suddenly found itself with the spire attached to it. And the man who unwittingly makes himself the most famous person in the world.
The problem I thought I had was that the man of my dreams created his church with the message that god doesn't exist. And when you're the daughter of the local priest, that's not a good scenario.
But when Leon tells me the appearance of the spire was as much a shock to him as it was to the rest of the human race, it becomes clear that someone - or something - has taken a big interest in what he's saying.
The 'entity' had shown his hand.
And so begins a journey of discovery - a whirlwind adventure that unearths a global truth, finds hidden strengths and selfless bravery, brings shocking revelations and puts us right in the middle of a battle with warring aliens.
And unlocks a centuries-old secret that will change humanity forever.
