Strange things begin happening to Julie on her 13th birthday when she receives a personal message in her fortune cookie written by the owner, Lee Wan—an old Chinese man –who recognizes her. In the message, Julie is given urgent instructions to go to Madam Tutania--a gypsy fortune teller where she learns that in another lifetime, she was Jera, a Daughter of Atlas who lived in Egypt and before that on Atlantis. Julie is given a special necklace with a star ruby called The Stone of Truth. Gradually, through her dreams, Julie realizes what it means to be a Daughter of Atlas.

It is through his dreams of a shepherd namedDaveed that he learns of his experiences with Yeshua (Jesus). David learnsthat Jesse is the modern day Jesus, who creates a magical singing group tospread his message of a new age based on the way of life on Atlantis. Through his dreams, David is a witness to theevents leading to the crucifixion of Jesus.
