In this dangerous game with time, someone's bound to lose.
Seventeen-year-old Saige Phillips can't help holding on to the hope that she'll find Chloe, her twin who went missing five years ago. After all, Saige sees echoes of Chloe sitting in the window and skipping down the stairs. Though there's never been any sound associated with Saige's "hallucinations," she's freaked out by the breathing she hears in her bedroom.
The breathing is definitely real, and it's definitely not coming from Saige. It's echoing through a time rift that originates in Saige's bedroom. Then a grayed-out guy shows up, saying his name is Price and he's from the future. He has the same blue film clinging to him that Saige has seen on Chloe, and she seizes onto the idea that her twin went through the rift.
As Saige searches for answers in her time, she's met with secret after secret, all coming back to one source: her physicist mother.
Price lives in the year 2073 with his Time Keeper father and a whole slew of global initiatives that regulate time travel. He knows time shouldn't be played with. What he doesn't know is why the rift opened now, or how he can stop it.
The deeper Price digs, the harder the truth is to swallow. His father willfully violating the global time travel initiative is one thing. Stealing the rift site from Saige's mother is quite another. And kidnapping - or worse - to cover everything up takes things too far.
When the rift begins to show signs of overuse and instability, Price is desperate to close it before it explodes while Saige will do anything to keep it open long enough to find Chloe.
