Blamed for murder, forced to sell inventions on the black market, and now his coffee bean jar won’t open. Jonathan just turned thirty and is already up to his neck in problems.

It’s 2005, in Cliffbay, California. After years of dormancy, the investigation into the Skavinski brothers’ teleportation and time travel scandal is revitalized after Nathan starts stealing parts from government bases. Theories about what he might be building circulate.

The timeline is being rewritten, and suspicions of future genocide are the presumed reason behind Nathan’s past actions: eliminate the threats before they destroy society.

Not understanding Nathan’s intentions, Jonathan tries to stop his brother’s killings and thievery while also attempting to clear himself as a suspect of the case. Along the way, he joins forces with Katrina Barker–an undercover agent in charge of the investigation.

Fueled by revenge for her dead friend, Katrina is conflicted as her time with Jonathan makes her realize that he may not be the killer she once thought he was.

Meanwhile, Nathan watches his world crumble as his endeavor to save the future and his family backfires.

In this illustrated adult novel, you get to follow a humorous, Y2K, crime-fighting sci-fi where these three rely on odd gadgets, mutated creatures, and morally questionable values to reach their goals of freedom, family, and justice.
