What if saving a life meant dooming the world? In the not-so-distant future, scientist Elijah Carter builds a time-travel device with one mission in mind: stop the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and reshape history for the better. But when he and his mentor, Dr. Myra Kensington, are hurled back to 1865, their actions set off a catastrophic ripple effect-one that empowers the Confederacy with future technology and turns John Wilkes Booth into a national icon. Now, the United States is a fractured, apartheid nation. Slavery never ended. Time is a weapon, and Elijah's failure has made him a ghost in a world he no longer recognizes. Hunted across centuries, haunted by what he's lost, and marked a traitor by a rewritten past, Elijah must find the strength to fix the future before history locks in a nightmare forever. Can one man rewrite a timeline built on blood and lies? Or has the ripple effect gone too far?
