Speaking in front of a room full of New York City dignitaries is not Breelyn Grace's idea of a good time—a full scale dental extraction or spinal surgery without anesthesia would be less traumatic. So when she starts to experience spotty vision, increased heart rate, and respirations, she believes it's only a bad case of stage fright…

…until she disappears.

And wakes to a future she never expected.  

Five years before, Detective Jonah Knight was lauded as the Hero of the Bronx, for saving hostages held by Skuttle drug lord, Barto Temple. His reign of terror over the New York-Jersey corridor has left the city a nightmarish bastion of murder and corruption, and Jonah a widower.

Jonah never expected his investigation of a credit union break-in to expose an abduction case. Nor does he quite understand how or why Temple managed to pull Breelyn through time to 2070. However, it is the opportunity Jonah's waited for—a chance to bring an end to Temple's tyrannical rule.

Now, Jonah and Breelyn must work together to discover her importance to this alien king pin before his men manage to recapture Breelyn and make her the focus of their quantum experiments.
