His father, HENRY, hides the fact that he has a similar dream, in which he is killed by the same soldier in the future. Throughout his childhood, Keith continues to have the same dream. While attending MIT, Keith is abducted by a group named by the FBI as the "TIME TERRORISTS". Meanwhile, Keith's girlfriend, TRACY, is unwillingly recruited by the Feds to assist them in finding Keith. But between the Time Terrorists and the FBI, neither Keith nor Tracy can determine if the group they are now unwilling participants in can be trusted. Keith is told by JOHN STIVES, the leader of the Time Terrorists, that his dream is, in fact, deja vu, and that regardless of what happens in the future, his dream will become fact and cannot be avoided. Deja vu is, in fact, a way for a person to witness not just the future, but the past. Meanwhile, Tracy has learned from JERRY, the FBI agent in charge of the case, that the Time Terrorists want to keep Keith safe from them so that a war with China will happen, and that deja vu can, in fact, be avoided if enough information is known about the dream. With both Keith and Tracy confused and not confident with their new "friends", the two escape, manage to reunite and begin their journey to a hideway that only they and Keith's father know of in California. During the trip across the country, Keith slowly learns how to witness deja vu on demand, to reveal both his past and his future. Keith, Tracy and Henry are reunited, only to be discovered by both the Time Terrorists and the FBI. Soon, the truth behind which side can be trusted, as well as the imminent war with China, the ultimate meaning behind Keith's deja vu dream, and the surprise identity of Jerry and importance of John are ultimately revealed.
