Novaya Zemlya is a private project that helps save part of humanity from an imminent global catastrophe. Five months later, the world will die in the fire of a nuclear cataclysm. In order to save humanity as a species, it is necessary to relocate at least fifty thousand people to the Cradle. Evacuation begins. In the meantime, two hundred and three people live in the Cradle, nineteen Polynesians from another time and seventy-two paleoanthropes recognized as a primitive intelligent race.
