DESCRIPTION:
Morally complex, orphan, and genius Vincent Abajian wants to uncover all he can on Artificial Intelligence. His relentless pursuit distracts him from a traumatic childhood loss—his childhood friend Akane was engulfed in a time-turbulence, a random rift in space and time.
But everything changes when a beautiful, temperamental, post-doctoral scientist, Emika Amari, joins his Center. Vincent is convinced that Akane is inside the irresistible Emika. As they begin a life together, Vincent's past and connection with a time turbulence survivor challenge everything they've created and push them into a spiral of politics and conspiracy. Vincent's silence to protect Emika tears them apart. Unknowingly, Emika is torn between what she wants and what Akane wants from her. With his newfound power, Vincent struggles with whether or not he should create another time-turbulence to free Emika from the grasp of Akane once and for all. But will tinkering with time be more destructive?
