Ten years.

It had been ten years since that day in Cuba. Since Erik had betrayed the X-Men. Since Mystique had left.

Now, it's the seventies, Lily Anderson, now known as Lily Xavier, is 27 and has been taking care of her drunken brother, Charles, and her heartbroken best friend, Hank.

Her nights are plagued with nightmares, her days are plagued with exhaustion and an abundance of alcohol, just enough to let her relax, not enough to get her so wasted, she forgets what century she's in.

However, when a strange and rather grumpy man with sideburns and a mind full of horrors shows up at the abandoned school and claims to be from the future, Lily must not only help the newcomer with his mission, but convince her brother to help.

But an unfortunate spanner in the works is thrown in: she'll have to reunite with an 'old friend'.

And there's a good chance one of them won't come out of there alive.
