Part 1 : Tom Kullerson and his mom, Olivia, arrive by helicopter at the Kullerson Fissure, a massive trench in the earth's crust that goes down 7 miles created by a meteor strike, which also happens to be home to Project ICARIS: a scientific research station built to study the phenomenon. Once there, Olivia gets to work while Tom takes an orientation course of ICARIS with 3 other kids; Jun Wong, a childhood friend who believes in all things mythical and magical; D'Angelo Baker, an animal-loving army brat; and Alexandra 'Alex' Gonzalez, a shy and reserved computer hacker with the online alias "Cinnabot538". However, Tom chooses to run off to see the fissure and barely manages to help Phillip Baker, ICARIS' Chief of Security, save a worker who nearly fell in when an earthquake struck, catching a glimpse of a glowing creature underneath the fissure. That night, Tom catches up with Jun and decides to send a camera drone down into the fissure. The drone shorts out partway down and, despite being warned against it, Tom heads down into the fissure in order to retrieve it. Down there, he discovers a creature caught beneath rubble and frees it, inadvertently making a most remarkable discovery: a real live dragon. Part 2 : Tom finds himself face to face with the dragon and freaks out. As the skittish beast flies away, he attempts to climb back up but fails and falls down the fissure.

The next day, he can't help but wonder as to what he saw that night, and Jun suggests that it might be a dragon. While Jun believes that the dragons may be real, Alex points out that if they were real, they would be hunted, exploited, and monopolized for profit, causing Tom to decide to keep the dragon a secret.
