What's behind the final door? Maggie Brandt is the lone survivor of the fire that claimed her mother, her brother, and her childhood home. Turtle and Thunderbird, ancient Native American spirits who have enlisted her help, say the fire was necessary. They insist Maggie must move on quickly, for a greater trial is coming: the renewal of the earth, which only she can complete. But first she must check in on two of her children: Emily in California and Tim in Mexico City. And something else is pulling her to Mexico, too - an ancient entity whose task Maggie will want no part of. No wonder she feels like jumping off a bridge...

Maggie Muir Brandt has been charged by a Shawnee creation spirit with the renewal of the earth. But her elderly mother is losing her grip on reality, and she feels she must set aside her own life to move back to her childhood home to take care of her. Maggie's brother Sandy objects, saying it would be better for their mother to live closer to him. Sandy abused Maggie all through their childhood, and that history makes her suspicious of his sudden interest in their mother. Then, in a vision, she sees a water panther - a monster - attack a drowning doe, and she knows the water panther is Sandy and the doe is their mother. In her vision, Maggie thwarts the water panther's attack. But she knows he will be back, and she can't hold him off forever. It's an impossible situation, but it must be solved, and soon. Because time is running out for the earth, and Maggie can't fulfill her destiny until she has subdued her own demons - including Sandy.

Darkness dawns... Decades ago, Maggie Brandt fled the East Coast - leaving behind her troubled marriage, her three nearly-grown children, and her controlling mother-in-law - and picked up the threads of her old life in her Midwestern hometown. There, she found a measure of peace, even as she regretted leaving her children behind. Now, though, her ex-mother-in-law has been diagnosed with uterine cancer, and demands that Maggie dance attendance on her while she recovers - because, she says, there is no one else. Maggie feels she has no choice but to drop everything and comply. On the way, she stops on a whim at an ancient Native American earthwork, and what she experiences there leaves her reeling. An old woman who may - or may not - be the reincarnation of a Native American spirit charges Maggie with nothing less than Earth's renewal. But first, Maggie must bind the family wounds she created in her darkest hours - and with little more than an ancient turtle effigy as her guide.
