Iris Jacobs wants to be taken seriously.

She's a newly minted college grad, ready to take on the world of historical research. What she finds instead is high rent and a job posting on a tacky flyer. Soon, she's blowing bubbles while leading songs she doesn't know, and calling BINGO games while breaking up fights between elderly dementia patients in a nursing home. She's immersed in a world where you can't believe a word anyone says.

Except one man. There's something different about him. Psychiatrists have declared him incompetent because, although he appears to be in his eighties, he claims to be a twenty-four year old master craftsman from Scotland. Strangest of all, his story checks out... about a hundred years too early.

If Iris chooses to believe him, their unlikely alliance will test everything she believes about faith, love, friendship, and most of all, herself. Her quest to bring about his freedom will shake the very foundations of Time itself... and could cost her everything.
