She had spent years convincing herself that dreams were meant for other people. Once passionate about singing and dancing, she traded the stage for late-night shifts behind the counter of a neighborhood bar, pouring drinks while pretending she didn't miss the life she'd always imagined. Music was the only thing that still made the weight of living feel a little lighter. Then, one ordinary night, she fell asleep... ...and woke up in the same city, on the same streets, but in a different decade. 1983. Struggling to make sense of a world she shouldn't exist in, an unexpected encounter leads her to audition for a top-secret production. No one knows who the artist is. The project is shrouded in secrecy. Little does she know, she's about to step into the orbit of a young performer named Michael Jackson, just as he's preparing for the project that will change music history forever. The only problem? She already knows how the story goes. Every song that hasn't been written yet. Every record that hasn't been broken. Every triumph. Every heartbreak. And every secret she's never supposed to tell.

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
