When the daughter of a Japanese Samurai is swept forward 300 years by an unexplained wormhole, a maverick scientist must solve the riddle of her journey and chase through time to prevent a galactic catastrophe.

SYNOPSIS:

Peter Walker, a maverick physicist whose radical ideas remain unaccepted by his colleagues, has taken refuge in Tokyo, the only opportunity that would allow him to continue his research. But now funding for that project has been cut, forcing him to look elsewhere.

With his application dismissed by CERN, Peter attempts to prove himself by monitoring wormholes he predicts will be created by the Large Hadron Collider. However, he assumes he has failed when his prototype equipment only manages to detect what he assumes are microwaves from a mountain-top weather station barely a hundred kilometers away in the Japanese Alps.

When Peter learns of Japanese Government plans to build an experimental matter-antimatter reactor at the same location, he sets out to investigate. He discovers Nene, a Kimono-clad Japanese woman trapped in a deep mountain cave, weak and frightened. As Peter carries her to safety a wormhole opens, revealing a scene of billowing smoke and broken equipment before abruptly closing. Something, somewhere – and somewhen - has gone disastrously wrong.

Peter helps Nene to recover, and although she is unable to remember what happened he is determined to unravel the mystery of her journey forward 300 years in time. But instead of making a great scientific breakthrough Peter finds himself entranced by Nene's beauty and begins to doubt his own convictions that neither fate nor destiny have a place in his world.

After only a few short days together Nene is swept into another wormhole. Peter’s quest to find her takes him to 18th century Japan, where he encounters a marooned time-traveler and learns that a team of scientists have used Peter’s own research as the foundation of their noble but misguided attempts to alter the course of history for the good of mankind – a move that Peter realizes can only lead to the formation of dangerous causality paradoxes.

Caught up in an unstable wormhole, Peter is transported to 2032 along with the time-traveler and Nene’s father, where they are reunited with Nene. There they find the wormhole generator itself, surrounded by chaos, spinning rapidly out of control.

Recognizing that only he can prevent the annihilation of everything that ever was or will be, Peter sets out to destroy the machine before all is lost. Peter sends Nene into a wormhole in a desperate attempt to save her while he remains behind to ensure the reactor self-destructs, but is himself saved when Nene’s father hurls him into another wormhole, urging him to “Find Nene!”

Finally, Peter survives but is left stranded on an unknown shore at an unknown time. Nene is returned to late 17th century Japan, and we are left with the hope that they may yet find a way back to each other.
