Publisher's Synopsis

Rule One: Travel can only occur to a point within your lifetime.
Rule Two: You can only travel for ninety seconds.
Rule Three: You can only observe.
The rules cannot be broken.

This is not the story you think you know. And the rules are only the beginning.

A sci-fi thriller that packs an emotional punch from acclaimed author Philip Fracassi, perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds and Severance.
