Jack is lost in time, sent back from the 22nd century to the end of the nineteenth century, where he lands in The Marysburgh Vortex, a mysterious location known for swallowing up ships and sailors on the Great Lakes.

Soon, he stumbles on a murder and the trace memories of a troubling future grow more intense. Join him as he scrambles to stay one step ahead of a deadly army of drones, robots and assassins led by a mysterious Dark Master while recovering the world's last known samples of Elusine, an extinct element that just might save the world's atmosphere from imploding.
