The USA in 2021 has gone to the dogs. After the death of President Carlton in 2016, society has disintegrated. The government has collapsed, there are food and power shortages and law and order is non-existent. There is rioting on the streets. And in a mysterious lab guarded by armed troops, children are the subjects of some gruesome experiments. Time Runners Jamie and Anna have been sent by Senex to find out what's going on. Someone has been messing with time when they shouldn't have been. Add to the mix a terrifying murderous monster and time-villain Darkling Midnight, and it's clear that Jamie and Anna have trouble on their hands.
