When Hakon's Key, Bree Sanderson, was killed in Chicago, 1986, so was he. How then was it possible for him to send a message for help to his people in the future? In New Atlantis 2350, twenty years after Kon died, a message from him is uncovered. Rescued and returned home with his Key, Kon finds a lot has changed while he's been away, not least the fact that another man now wears his body. As Kon tries to come to terms with his radically different world, he must also come to accept that Bree is the one person who can bring him fully to life after hundreds of years of numb existence. But back in her own time, someone wants Bree dead, and it's up to Kon to find out who and why. He must untangle the complex weave of time to save her, because the woman he has come to love can't remain in his future Utopian world if history records her as having died in 1986.
