Cortland Carter, a desperate and out of work computer programmer, is hired by quirky scientist Dr. Napolis. The Doctor claims he will change the world. How? He's developed a machine that allows him to travel to parallel universes and is also on the brink of time travel. He convinces Cortland to join up at a private science lab under a false identity to steal their research on particle physics for his project to be complete. Cortland is reluctant, but who could pass up being involved in such world changing technology? At Quantum Physics Research Center, Cortland falls for physicist Lora Lacy. He's never clicked so well with any woman before. Cortland must now decide if he will go through with the theft and the betrayal. And if he does, what plans does this odd doctor have with this new technology? Cortland will soon find out what his desperation has led to and the consequences it may have for the multiverse and the integrity of his world's timeline.
