Evan is pretty surprised when he joins a video call and finds his ex Della on it, but even more surprised to find that she's calling from a year earlier, when they were still together. Before they can even start to guess what's going on, Evan's unstable flame from one year in the future logs on - and that's before things start to get weird.

According to a wild-haired time-hopping scientist, Evan and Della have to keep their future on its predetermined course despite what they might hear from the Hindenburg, their kids, or their future overlords. But what if there's a way out of this virtual time vortex where no one joins a cult or clones themselves?
