Dr. Jaxon Hale, a former MLB pitcher turned biomechanical scientist, believes time is not a line but a pressure system - a field of forces shaping human movement and civilization. But on April 17th, 2074, time speaks. Inside the Continual Time Observatory, Jaxon receives a message from the future: DO NOT OPEN. It's not just a warning - it's a lock. And the sender is himself. Driven by curiosity and duty, Jaxon initiates a temporal trace that fractures reality. The Core destabilizes. A breach opens. And Jaxon steps into it - becoming the first human to interface with time itself. Inside the breach, he meets his future self - a version of Jaxon who survived the collapse of causality. Together, they confront the consequences of the first jump: a fractured timeline, billions lost, and a machine that Jaxon himself designed but never mastered. As the story unfolds, Jaxon learns that time travel is not just physics - it's cognition, identity, and sacrifice. The fracture wasn't caused by travel. It was caused by incomplete transit. To stabilize the timeline, Jaxon must finish the jump - knowing it will erase him from existence. With Ashley, his AI Copilot, as the only constant across timelines, and Mara - the woman he couldn't save - as his emotional anchor, Jaxon faces the ultimate choice: Become the anchor that saves the world... or the anomaly that ends it.
