Passage to Zarahemla

A group of hunters illegally stalks game in the forest. The elk, initially thought dead, springs to life and bolts into the dense brush, signaling that danger is far from over. The pursuit begins as the hunters chase the frightened animal deeper into the trees.

Following the electrifying pursuit, the hunter finds the elk suspended from a branch, pierced by an arrow. He then hears noises and turns around to another arrow coming toward him, forcing him to scream in fear. The encounter reveals a threat beyond ordinary hunting.

Kerra and Brock are introduced at their mother's funeral, with their father mysteriously absent after years. Facing the prospect of being wards of the state, they decide to flee to stay together. Brock helps Kerra steal the social worker's vehicle to speed their escape.

Remembering a relative from childhood, Kerra plots a course for Leeds, Utah, hoping to reach their aunt and uncle. They spin a story about traveling across the country to meet their mother who has a new job there. The stolen car breaks down, and they are offered a place to stay until repairs are finished.

Shortly after their arrival, Kerra is confronted by cousins who recall tales from her early childhood. They speak of strange noises in the woods and an imaginary being Kerra named Kid Donni. These memories plant a sense of mystery that looms over the family.

An earthquake shakes the area near Aunt Corrine and Uncle Drew's property, hinting at hidden forces at work. The quake reveals a rupture in time that allows Kerra to contact her imaginary friend Kiddoni. The barrier between past and present begins to fracture.

Following the quake, Kerra reunites with Kiddoni, who is revealed to be a Nephite figure from the Book of Mormon. The time portal expands, allowing Kiddoni and his people to cross into the modern world. Kerra becomes aware of a hidden history bleeding into her life.

As the rift grows, Nephite and Gadianton armies cross the time gap and arrive near the Whitman home in the present day. The ancient forces confront one another amid a modern setting, collapsing the boundaries between eras. The imminent clash reshapes the town’s quiet surface.

Unaware of the widening rift, Brock is seized by the Gadianton army when they descend into the present. He encounters Chris, a scraggly man from the modern era, who becomes a surprising ally and guide. The encounter foreshadows the interwoven fates of past and present.

Meanwhile, Brock had been carrying a bag of illegal drugs given by a former gang member to transport out of California. The gang leader travels to Utah to reclaim the bag, pulling the criminal conflict into the Leeds area. The bag’s presence intensifies the danger in the new world.

The rift widens into a full-blown clash of worlds as the Gadianton army crosses into the present day in search of food and resources. The past and present collide in the Utah landscape, shattering the town’s ordinary calm. Ancient troops march beside modern streets.

Chris, the scruffy man from the modern era, reunites with Kerra and Brock near the Whitman home. He reveals that he is their father, who disappeared years earlier during a hunting trip. The family learns that their fates span both time and generations.

A major battle erupts between Nephite and Gadianton forces near the Whitman property as the two worlds clash. The siblings, their father, and their allies take cover while the modern world becomes a battleground. The conflict tests their resolve to stay together as a family.

Another earthquake hits, restoring the division between the eras and driving the Nephite forces back. Kerra mourns the loss of her Nephite friend Kiddoni, but the family is kept safe and reunited with their father. The crisis ends on a note of hopeful reconciliation.
