Using a quantum String they have downloaded information from the Tin Can, a data gathering time capsule that is beyond current temporal coordinates. Information siphoned off by their time travel workaround provides vague evidence of an upcoming disaster and a narrow view of a surprising new world.
Leaked security camera and videoconference files exposes the team of scientists must deal with the consequences of their success. Their analysis of fragmented code doesn’t provide enough information to know if sharing their discovery will prevent a catastrophe or be the cause of it.
In the future, a quest to uncover a fabulous buried treasure from the past ends at a garbage dump.

Together they must flee a city segregated by Wellness Walls and navigate their way through a world in flux.
The well-intentioned scientists have paved the road to a hell of a quandary. Can they actually take the knowledge gathered by the String and turn it into actions that will change future events? But more importantly, is the future using the Tin Can Time Machine to try and change itself?
