When Lucy was a small girl, her father, the renowned physicist, disappeared without any explanation.

The more she learns about the mystery, the more she realizes that her trip back in time may not have been as accidental as she first believed, as the time machine may contain information about her father’s disappearance, and her actions in 2003 may have unanticipated repercussions in the future.Now, Lucy is thrust into a past she barely remembers, faced with the daunting task of stopping the serial killer and saving her sister, all while navigating the unfamiliar social dynamics of early 2000s high school life.
