Jackson Meyer has a mysterious ability to travel through time, though he does not understand how it works or how to control it. When danger threatens him and his girlfriend Holly, he panics and jumps two years into the past—beyond any point he had previously reached. Trapped, he cannot return to the future and must masquerade as his younger self while he searches for a way back. As the rules of time travel break down, Jackson grapples with guilt, suspicion that his father is lying, and the realization that he has become a target for an unknown enemy. He races against time to protect Holly, uncover the truth about his family, and discover why he can travel and who wants him dead.
