Jacob Forester built a machine that allows people to relive memories—to step back into the past and experience it as if they were there. After losing his wife, he uses it for one reason: to see her again. Then he discovers the past may not be as fixed as he thought.
What began as a way to survive his grief becomes something far more dangerous: a chance to prevent his wife's death altogether.
But the past does not belong to Jacob alone. Every choice he changes sends consequences rippling outward, drawing him into events he never expected and forcing him to face a far greater challenge:
If Jacob wants any chance of saving his wife, he must first prevent a disaster that would change his country forever.
