When Eliza was thirteen, she was shuffling through a turnstile of foster homes when she met a mysterious doctor who seemed to understand the strange extrasensory abilities awoken in her after her parents' deaths. A few years later, as she finds herself living in seclusion in Dr. Conners's lab, Eliza realizes that she's not ready to sacrifice control of her life for the sake of security. Eliza can travel through time, and Dr. Conners and his financier want to put Eliza's talents to suspicious use. She knows she can't trust anyone at the lab but Jason Bray, a handsome young researcher. As Eliza and Jason become closer, she's more convinced that she has to escape. But where will she go? And how will she learn to control her powers? Eliza's time travel isn't without limits. She can't interact with others during her visits to the past, she can't see before her own birth, and she definitely can't change the past. Or can she? As she fights to free herself from Dr. Conners's grip, Eliza will learn that she's the only one who is ultimately in charge of her fate-and maybe the fates of many others.
