Description
Today, Jackson and Holly are in love.
Tomorrow, She will lie bleeding in his arms.
Yesterday, Jackson must undo it all...
A Major Success Already in the Making. Pre-empted by Summit Entertainment (Twilight) for feature film. Foreign rights sold in a dozen countries.
The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in
college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not
like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no
space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless
fun.
That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his
girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In
his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his
previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the
future.
Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to
return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can
about his abilities.
But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly
in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will
stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or kill
him.
Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time,
and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and
possibly the entire world.
