What if Stephanie Brown Didn't Give up her daughter at 16? Just outside of a house that has barely felt like a home for the mother and daughter that have lived there for so long that they can't fathom to call it anything but "home", and has been witness of more pain and trauma than some could without crying, another tale of anguish and sacrifice is written down on the pages of the Gotham, a city of tragedy big or small, a city that quakes in every sense, a quake where people let others fall through the cracks and be left forgotten, that, is the sad truth of this city. And yet, just outside of this house where a police car once waited for Arthur Brown, a barely remembered villain, to be taken into custody, now an ambulance is waiting for Stephanie Brown, a vaguely known hero, to be helped out of her home. For this young hero is carrying a new life, and maybe just this once, tonight nobody falls through the cracks, nobody is left forgotten and alone.

"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.
