Tom Kullersen and his mom, Olivia, arrive by helicopter at the Kullersen Fissure, a massive trench in the earth's crust that goes down 7 miles, which also happens to be home to Project ICARIS: a scientific research station built to study the phenomenon. Once there, Olivia gets to work while Tom takes an orientation course of ICARIS with 3 other kids; Jun Wong, a childhood friend who believes in the magic; D'Angelo Baker, an animal-loving army brat; and Alexandra 'Alex' Gonzalez, a shy and reserved Computer hacker with the online alias "Cinnabot538". However, Tom chooses to run off to see the fissure and barely manages to help Phillip Baker, ICARIS' Chief of Security, save a worker who nearly fell in when an earthquake struck, catching a glimpse of a glowing creature underneath the fissure. That night, Tom catches up with Jun and decides to send a camera drone down into the fissure. The drone shorts out partway down and, despite being warned against it, heads down into the fissure in order to retrieve it. Down there, he discovers a creature caught beneath rubble and frees it, inadvertently making a most remarkable discovery: a real live Dragon.

Tom finds himself face to face with the Night Light Dragon and freaks. As the skittish beast flies away, he attempts to climb back up but fails and falls down the fissure. He gets rescued by the dragon, who drops him off in a cave. After the dragon's curiosity gets on Tom’s nerves, he finds a way out of the cave and heads back to ICARIS to rest for the night. The next day, he can’t help but wonder as to what he saw that night and Jun suggests that it could be a dragon. After learning from his mom that Rakke Corp, the founders of ICARIS, are hoping to find something big in the fissure, he decides to keep the existence of the dragon a secret and heads back to the cave to bond with it, which he names ‘Thunder’. After attempting to feed it with various meals and learning about his taste for fish, Tom and Thunder grow closer as they take their first flight together which ends with Tom stumbling upon an entire hidden world of dragons within the fissure.
