Hiro and Oliver were once the closest of friends, but their bond was shattered when Oliver disappeared without a trace. Hiro, a geneticist and paleoanthropologist, spent years uncovering the truth behind Oliver's disappearance, driven by his desire to travel through time and witness the mysteries of the ancient past. But when he finally discovers Oliver's secret lab and time machine, he is plunged into a terrifying journey through time and space, haunted by the warning that "your own blood shall take everything from you." As Hiro races through the ages, he begins to question whether he can truly control his own destiny, or if his fate has already been written by the forces of the past and future.
