Time doesn't always move forward. Sometimes it folds.
And sometimes, people get stuck. On the morning of June
21, 1923, in a small city in upstate New York, high school
senior Pearl Coveety walks across the street from her
house to a city park and disappears, never to be heard
from again. Fifty years later, on the same date,
graduating senior Lee Capove leaves a class party at the
same park and vanishes for good. Can these possibly be the
same girl? Present day sophomore, Liz, thinks so when she
finds both pictures in old yearbooks. As she and her study
partner Matt untangle the clues to these disappearances,
they're faced with a startling discovery that puts their
lives in peril and jeopardizes their friendship. In their
attempt to find the person in the photo, Liz and Matt toy
with forces of nature that are best left alone - temporal
displacement and the time space continuum. Simultaneously,
the girl in the photos desperately tries to find a way
back to her own time, while hiding her identity in another
decade. When her path and Liz's collide, this is no
coincidence. It is time itself, who plays the role of the
"joker," enticing the young sleuths with anagrams, aromas
and tangible evidence that time travel is no longer
theoretical. In a race to make things right, Liz and Matt
may become its next victims.
