    A dying town trapped in a time bubble. They blame Michelle Graham, a descendant of the man who broke the town.

    She wants to leave. The family house refuses to let her go.

    Then past and present bleed together…horse-drawn wagons ride alongside cars. A timeline rupture?

    Michelle races against time to stop the unfolding disaster. But it may change everything she knows.
