Assuming his new identity to better understand this new world, Michael Trent, now his sister MICHELLE TRENT, must not only find the criminal in his timeline, but discover why existence has been altered. When arriving in this new world, Trent is discovered by computer tycoon MICHAEL EXAVIAR in an alleyway after a mugging attempt. Trent spends the night at the Exaviar home, where the history of her new world begins to be revealed. There is no United States, but the Thirteen Colonies of the British Empire. There have been no major wars in two thousand years, and most diseases have cures. Later, Trent visits her mother, and discovers that slavery of Africans never happened. All countries in the world are thriving. Trent's occupation as a bartender at Club 1807 allows her to socialize and meet people that will assist her in finding the truth. Trent joins forces with SCOTT, a computer expert with the gift of ESP, and ROY, whose knowledge of art and mechanics could propel him into a modern day Leonardo da Vinci. Together they encounter a man who has manipulated history into his own vision ... Michael Exaviar. Just when it appears all will be revealed as to why existence has changed, history begins the process of being unraveled by an unforeseen force, followed by a rescue attempt from an unimaginable ally. Or is the ally really there to assist?
