She is ambitious at work, but actually rather shy and well-behaved. When the young Faith tries to cross the tracks at the train station one evening, as she does every evening after work, something very strange happens: A deep, seemingly endless hole opens up in front of her in the middle of the street. Apparently only she can see it. When she tries to run around it, Faith is drawn in … and the young woman suddenly ends up in a completely bizarre, alien world that exists underground. In addition to dark figures, immortal creatures and mythical creatures, quite normal people also live there. These hikers, as they are called, are originally from the world Faith lives in. They have the ability to wander between the so-called Underground and the upper world and want to maintain a secret co-existence between the two worlds. Faith joins them and quickly becomes their leader. However, the rebels who have been waging war against the hikers for years are already on their heels. Only gradually does Faith understand why that is so: She is being hunted because she seems to have strange powers.
One day when she saves the fearful Gil during a chase in the upper world, she takes him with her to the underground. She makes him her advisor and falls under his spell more and more – but he of all people is keeping a devastating secret that could not only destroy the underground, but also the world from which Faith comes …
