Set in present day, a CalTech quantum physicist believes the next scientific breakthrough will be the discovery of time travel. He fears this will inevitably result in the destruction of life as we know it, and as such, strives to preserve time. The catch: to prevent time travel, he must first understand it. And to understand it, he must break his only rule and invent it. His greatest fear is realized when his partner commits the ultimate betrayal. Our series examines mankind's tampering with time. It explores our morality and ethics, as well as our occasional disregard for both.
