Kansas City, 2025. Detective David Keller is a man running on fumes. Widowed, weary, and haunted by the memory of his wife, he lives for the job. But when a raid on a rogue physicist's lab goes wrong, the explosion doesn't kill him-it rewrites his existence.
Keller wakes up in 1995. The world is analog, the internet is a novelty, and the woman he grieves is alive and well.
To survive, he assumes the identity of Detective Teller and talks his way onto the force. But the timeline has a cruel sense of humor. His new partner is the one man he can't stand: a cocky, twenty-eight-year-old rookie named Dave Keller.
Forced to work alongside his younger, arrogant self, Teller must solve the execution-style murder of a local philanthropist. But the clues-a rare orchid, a buffalo-horn button, and a strand of crimson thread-don't match the history he remembers.
As the investigation spirals into a conspiracy involving a madman bent on freezing time, Teller realizes he isn't just fighting to solve a crime. He is fighting to save his wife from a fate he thought was inevitable. But in this timeline, she doesn't know who he is.
Two detectives. One life. And a clock that is ticking backward.
