The story is about an American man and his four adopted daughters. They are living in cold Finland and come across this lake that has incredible powers. If you drown in it for three days, you come out with beyond super powers. The family returns to the United States and tries to work for the government, but many conflicts begin to occur almost splitting the family. They return to Finland and something really bad happens... two of the girls lose their powers, creating an internal problem within the family. The story is a great idea but more like a screenplay than a book.
