Synopsis/Details
MARSIE, no-nonsense and desperate, travels back in time and restrains her “present self” and takes her place on her first day of work as head of security at a low-rent secret time travel agency. Immediately, Marsie starts flirting with colleague DARNELL, a naïve romantic, who's unfortunately in love with LAUREN, a Southern Barbie who works for a covert government agency interested in time travel technology. Marsie and Darnell's first client together wants to sleep with an aging rock star at the peak of his hotness. To accommodate this request, they'll need to find someone who actually did sleep with the rock star in the past, and then accompany their client back in time to take that person's place.  All this to avoid “ripples," because ripples are bad. SHUKO, a mysterious gunwoman, storms into the travel agency and critically injuries JAMES, one of the two twin-brother inventors of time travel.  Against Marsie’s wishes, Darnell asks Lauren for help, and she transports James to an underground hospital.  Shuko is the result of a ripple. Marsie returns to her apartment and finds her present self has escaped.
