Plot In October 1959, a new elementary school in Lexington celebrates its opening with a competition in which students draw what they believe will happen in the future. One student, Lucinda Embry, fills her paper with a series of numbers while being guided by whispering voices. Her teacher, Miss Taylor, collects the drawing before she can write the final numbers. On the day of the ceremony, Lucinda engraves the remaining numbers into a closet door with her fingernails. The works are stored in a time capsule and opened 50 years later when the current class distributes the drawings among the students. Lucinda's paper is given to Caleb Koestler, the 9-year-old son of widowed MIT astrophysics professor John Koestler.
