Quinn wants to escape her claustrophobic hometown after her father dies unexpectedly from a rare parasitic infection, and an internship filming feed in cities around the world for a software company developing a virtual running game seems like her ticket to run. When it turns out the company is owned by the father of a boy whose motives are murky, her departure leaves her best friend Toby feeling jealous and betrayed back home. As a research assistant for a local professor who believes parasitic infections may be being utilized as a biological weapon, Toby starts piecing together clues that suggest Quinn's father was murdered; a murder connected to the disappearance years before of his own father, a world-famous biomedical engineer on the cusp of a cure for infertility. Toby's investigation circles back to a shadowy pharmaceutical executive he discovers is stalking Quinn, and creates a game of cat and mouse where Toby faces either losing Quinn, or altering her very existence to save her; even as he grapples with the layers of meaning in the last question Quinn's dying father asked him: "Are you real?"

After three 19th century strangers - a bashful British doctor, a cocky American adventurer, and a stubborn German girl disguised as a man - step inadvertently through a gateway into 12th century England, they realize that trying to find a way back home isn't their biggest problem.

Tell us, this anger you are feeling, it is driven by the feeling of hurt and betrayal, no? Do you not want it to go away? All of it? "Of course I do. I want nothing more--" Then you know what you have to do. "No, I won't do it. My body is my own. You will not share it. You will not harm him. I won't let you!" I shouted angrily into the cold air. You still care about him even though he is causing you this grief? You still want him, don't you? Fine, we won't hurt him. We shall make him bend to your will. You would like that, wouldn't you? "What do you mean? You can't force someone to feel something for you if he doesn't." - • - • - • - Svenna's past and the fates of women in her family have changed her thoughts about love and finding her soulmate. Abandoning her hopeless romantic ideals, she adopts a more realistic view that seemed jaded for her youth, surrounding her heart with thick walls, which endowed her with a steely exterior. Her strong and "challenging" traits make securing lasting relationships tough, and she refuses to settle for something(one) less than what she wants. But when she meets familiar faces - one is a complete stranger, the other is her first love - she wonders why both want her and she finds her innermost desires, long repressed, now reawakened. Svenna found this nonsensical. Her argument? These things simply do not happen to her but she does not know that she had unwittingly revived a divine-like force. An entity forged in a gem decades ago with its own intentions, paves a new path that intertwines the lives of two women from different generations. Is the entity accountable for the changes in her life? What about the odd change in her disposition? When she realises what is happening to her, will she welcome the interference, at the expense of her self? Or will she renounce love to save her self?
