Matthew Dunsratty is trapped in a nightmare of his own creation. Worse yet, he can never escape from it. All he wanted to do was add a little spice to his dull life. That's why he had devised a way to place new ideas in the minds of younger versions of himself. "Just a little fun". But ultimately that joyriding-in-time led to him accidentally murdering a young classmate. That heinous act landed Matt in the state mental hospital with no chance of ever leaving it alive. He would never meet his beloved wife or walk along a beach. He was trapped in the bleakest of institutions where medications were forced on him until he could barely think straight.
But a ray of hope shone into his darkest of existences. Fortuitous happenstance allowed him to finally time dive away. And to his astonishment he discovered that there was much, much more to time diving than he could have ever imagined. He could not just place a thought in the past, he could physically return himself to it. Armed with his new skill set, he decided to return to 1975 and try to stop a fellow patient he befriended from brutally and inexplicably murdering his family.
Matt unfortunately rediscovered a harsh fact that plagued him in his first life. No good deed would go unpunished. His attempted rescue forced him to confront the most powerful and malevolent time diver ever, Biblico Hoxha. This man was so evil he started wars for fun and spewed evil on all those around him. And he took an immediate dislike to Matt. Now Matt has to literally run for his life.
With Biblico on his tail was it even possible for Matt to help his friend avert his horrendous crime? Would Matt be denied his quest for redemption from his previous sins? Only by embarking on the greatest journey ever through time and space could Matt hope to succeed. And along the way, revisiting his youth in person promised to keep him on his toes, if not his best behavior.
Matthew's struggles may not be over, but the epic tales of Time Diving are just beginning!
