Lucy feels the tremors like a needle sensitized to respond to the slightest movement. She feels the push, the blind thrust of the earth's elastic body, pushing out, pulling in, behaving unpredictably. She lies awake at night, staring into the darkness, thinking of the tectonic plates moving against one another, building up tension, until something has to give.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an isolated island in Lake Ontario live twins Lucy and Levi and their father, Daniel.
