Imagine the Universe as a computer-machine, and Planet Earth as a single cog. Imagine that the machine is malfunctioning on account of a virus which mutated within the thought patterns of mankind. Now imagine that the Universe has a restore point. Mollie Owen lives her life in the 2040s, on the brink of this restore point. In 1999 Dylan Grace has his life diverted from what would have been an uneventful course by the mysterious Jetaru Dark. Orchestrating a second chance, bringing together prophesies, and twining fates, Variables in the machine change the story, and with it, our thoughts.
