David is a brilliant bio-physicist who suddenly finds himself shattered by the
sudden loss of his wife, Lindsay. In his grief he strives to make her death
meaningful, using the half-life of Carbon-23 molecules to isolate disease origins, he
unexpectedly unlocks the secrets of human existence in the flow of Space-Time.

Stranded in an unexpected past in the 1980’s he is forced to push his grief, confusion, and ethics in order to establish an existence where he can wait out his time.
David navigates effects of cause on the timeline, but ultimately faces moral dilemmas: save his wife Lindsay, and risk erasing his life in the past? Or give up on trying to bend the universe to his will and let go of the idea of control before he destroys everything meaningful?
I love time-travel stories. I feel cheated when a time-travel story takes shortcuts on explaining how characters are able to time-travel, or ignore what seam like simple laws of physics, cause and effect! It drives me so crazy that I decided I need to write my own time-travel story! I start off with character motivation for scientific work, and dive right into the HOW COULD TIME-TRAVEL EVEN BE POSSIBLE?! Followed by some fun inspections of how the laws of time would likely work in such a scenario. All while touching on the ethical questions of, if you could go back in time, would you / should you?
