Aaron Barnett falls asleep in 1985 as an ordinary accountant and wakes up sixty years later as a juror for the trial of the century. The utopian society of 2042 is grappling with the murder of the 'Mother of Time Travel.' And only this jury of inadvertent time travelers is equipped to reach an impartial verdict.
The twenty-first century feels like a paradise to Aaron. Far removed from his monotonous life, he savors the advancements and luxuries that the seemingly idyllic future has to offer. That is, until he uncovers the complicated, hidden truths behind time travel, and his own past, present, and future are suddenly at risk.
As it turns out, Aaron and his fellow jurors may be ruling on more than a lone case of temporal homicide. They may be delivering a verdict on the very nature of time itself.
