Read the official synopsis below:
In 2052, a scientific research team, led by Doctor Harper Keogh, discovered the key to time travel in humans. The process was achieved by combining dark matter, exposed to a contained nuclear reaction, with dead human tissue. The matter reacted with a dormant human cell, believed to have been repressed following the evolution into homo sapiens, which contributed to the recording of memory and special awareness. The process worked in about 8% of the population, but further research managed to attain the same results through technology.
Naturally, warring governments meant everything got out of hand and a dozen prototypes were stolen by rival nations. However, interest quickly dissipated in 2061, when Lithuania announced it had perfected the process of Terraforming, which would allow residents of Earth to survive in the secondary galaxy located in the Black Hole Ripple of 2045, an event which kick-started a number of scientific advancements. Worldwide preparations began for the mass migration from Earth, which had been acknowledged as declining sometime earlier. By 2070, Earth's eight billion residents had been relocated amongst seven new terraformed planets.
Now, it's 2102. Technology has seen a big jump, but humanity has yet to truly evolve from where it was a hundred years ago. Gordon Sophoes is a cop with a severe rebellion problem. Gordon has long been striving for answers about his aunt Miranda, a government agent who disappeared over twenty years ago after accusations of treason.
What Gordon doesn't know is that he is one of the 8%.
Pretty soon, Gordon finds himself stumbling upon a secret branch of the government, filled with agents who, thanks to Keogh's research, can now travel in time after a surgery to enact their gene. These people combat those who use the time-travel tech long lost amongst the criminals, tech with potentially-catastrophic repercussions, to abuse the timeline for their own gain. To his surprise, Gordon is offered a place amongst their ranks.
Of course, it is no coincidence that Gordon "stumbled" upon this division. Gordon uses his newfound resources to search for the truth about Miranda while sparring with his new colleagues, unaware of the role he is really playing.
Meanwhile, hot-headed reporter Carrie Dunn has been stuck with a long-gestating story: is there really a secret force of time-travelling agents out there? But, after a suspiciously close encounter with the extraordinary, Carrie begins to think there could be some truth to the tales, and plunges deep into a world she does not recognise, scavenging for the truth.
And while Carrie and Gordon explore their new worlds, a new threat begins to emerge that could very well tie everything together, right before it tears it all apart...
