Displaced

Time is a river that flows in one direction—or so we tell ourselves. We cling to this belief because the alternative is too frightening to contemplate: that the past is malleable, that the future is uncertain, and that five ordinary people might hold the key to humanity's survival.

This is the story of Elizabeth Manning, Jonas Mellock, Dr. Henry Albright, Reverend Thomas Kurtzwell, and Gina Robbins. They are not heroes in the traditional sense. They are not chosen ones marked by destiny or blessed with supernatural abilities. They are simply people—flawed, frightened, and far from home.

But sometimes, being ordinary is exactly what the world needs.
