Polyester and macramé with a time warp twist. Midlife just got a whole lot groovier.
After finding mysterious photos in her deceased father's attic, Neve uncovers a secret about her mother that was deliberately hidden. With only an opinionated parrot named Peregrine and a temporal crystal geode to guide her, she makes a desperate choice during Mercury retrograde and is hurled back to 1976.
But time travel comes at a devastating cost, and there's no guarantee Neve will return to the present. As she races to expose the truth behind her parents’ involvement in a controversial cancer treatment protocol, she must help a brilliant, neurodivergent scientist clear her name before history repeats itself.
