Synopsis/Details
AMY SIMMONS (35) is a brilliant scientist in the field of Chrononautics, a top field where scientists experiment with traveling through different periods of time. The company she works for, CHRONO VERSE, has recently terminated her employment because they found out that she has been inventing devices that allow humans to time travel. The regulating body of TIME LAWS headed by GIDEON THUNBERG (50) has Amy under surveillance because there recently has been a large power surge at her private lab. Amy proceeds to travel into the past to change traumatic events from her childhood.
As Amy encounters her childhood parents and family, she must come up with creative ways to conceal her identity. Amy stops her aunt from committing suicide by gunshot by convincing her that life is still worth living. Amy stops her mom from overdosing on medication. Gideon and the Time Agents discover that Amy has changed events in the past and apprehend her just as she is re-entering the future timeline. Gideon shows Amy how her changing the past has impacted humanity. Amy is torn between the decisions of letting her mom and aunt live but the rest of humanity eventually perishes when the timeline is shattered or resetting the events of the past and humanity thrives. At first Amy doesn’t believe the Time Agents until Gideon informs her that she will die if her family lives. If she does the right thing and undoes her alterations with time, she will live. Amy wrestles with her conscience as she is held in a futuristic jail cell but eventually despite her hatred of Gideon and the Time Agents, she makes the right choice. When Amy thinks all hope is lost, a secret ally comes to her rescue!
