A thriller/conspiracy tale uncovering the hidden history of our civilization. A story surrounding a boy named Tim, uncovering a message given by what appears to be a time traveler, that materializes out of thin air in front of him and just as quickly disappears back through, in what appears as some sort of time rift or door he once came. The time traveler leaves an encrypted message inside his phone, sending Tim down a rabbit's hole to uncover the contents without being killed himself by an organization that does not want the future to be revealed.
Tim and his older brother Daniel are orphans, they lost their parents in an airline disappearance somewhere over the south China sea that was never found. Tim is an extremely gifted & a highly advanced scientist level thinker, who can visualize equations & otherworldly visions that no one on earth can access (at least that he knows about). But Tim just wants to live his life & not be part of the noise of the world, the conspiracy driven negative disturbing world.
Tim's older brother Daniel works as an analyst for the US government. Daniel insists on Tim taking up an AI corporate sponsorship he arranged for him in the bay area. The sponsors will fund Tim's schooling at a prestigious advanced college near the city. In return, after his first school semester ends, Tim leaves the dorms to live & work downtown San Francisco as an intern with the mysterious sponsor, a top secret AI company that Daniel setup for his brother. Living in group homes for years & the fact that Daniel left Tim alone at 16 yrs old, he felt he needed to get Tim out of the government system, give him a new start as his guardian. But all is not what it seems, as Tim's world begins to quickly unravel, he will uncover what's behind the veil that has kept a secret world hidden in plain sight.
