Basil, a sixteen year old girl who was dumped with her grandparents after her birth, lives the normal life of a small town girl. That is, until her seventeenth birthday. Basil's mother shows up unexpectedly, proclaiming things that Basil can't even begin to understand, except that she is special. Very special. She learns about a man named Chronus, the God of Time, and that she and only she can destroy him. She also learns that she has the ability to control time. However, they soon learn that things are much more serious than they originally thought they were. It's said that time heals all wounds, but what happens when time is just a mere part of your existence.

My name is Jasmine Clark and my life is set for a drastic change when Social Services learn of the neglect my mother inflicted on me after my father's untimely demise. I am taken away from my home and sent to live with an old friend of my father's; James Andersen, his wife, Lilly, and their seven sons. Living in a house with seven boys is no walk in the park, either. This is me, surviving the Andersen brothers.
