Complete story — includes the ending
In prehistoric times, the sole survivor of an earthquake gives birth. The next day, she dies while saving her baby from a rattlesnake. A cavewoman from another tribe finds the baby and takes it. In the present, the fourth anniversary of the Departure approaches. Jarden, Texas, now inside a national park known as "Miracle," has become a tourist destination after it was discovered that no one from the town departed. Matt moves to Miracle with Mary to become its temporary pastor while the regular one undergoes surgery. Kevin, Nora, Jill and Lily (Christine's daughter who the Garveys have adopted) move into Jarden and meet the Murphys.: John, a firefighter who denies that Miracle is special; his wife Erika, a doctor; his epileptic daughter Evie; and his son Michael, a lector at the church who secretly visits his grandfather Virgil whom his parents have disowned. Fortune-teller Isaac predicts a disastrous event in John's future. Angered, John and other firefighters burn down Isaac's house. That night, an earthquake hits Miracle and the Murphys discover that Evie and two of her friends have gone missing. Their car, still running, is abandoned by a lake. The lake's water also vanished.
