Mandy Morris had one goal in life: to do good. In 1991, Mandy is approached by none other than Michael Jackson, to help him with his Heal the World Organization.

What Mandy and Michael don't know yet is that the charity will heal a part of them that they didn't know they needed.

"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.

She was just a little girl with chocolate-brown hair, playing alone in a park in Gary, Indiana. He was a shy boy with a voice that already promised magic. Michael and ___ became best friends almost without realizing it. Between laughter, whispered songs, and promises under the Indiana sky, they found in each other the refuge the world denied them.

Almost thirteen years later, their paths crossed again by pure chance. Michael, now a superstar, felt time stop the moment he saw her.

Can a childhood love survive fame, secrets, and the ambition of a father and a ruthless industry that refuses to take "no" for an answer?

Dr. Lara Winslow has built a life she is proud of. A gifted pediatric surgeon with little time for anything outside the hospital, Lara is perfectly content keeping love somewhere near the bottom of her list of priorities. Then she meets Michael Jackson. At the height of a life lived beneath flashing cameras and impossible expectations, Michael is accustomed to people knowing his name long before they ever know him. Lara, however, seems far more interested in the man standing in front of her than the legend the rest of the world sees. What begins with a chance encounter slowly becomes something neither of them planned late-night phone calls, unexpected laughter, quiet evenings, and a growing intimacy that becomes harder to dismiss with every passing day.

And as friendship gives way to something deeper, they'll have to discover whether two lives that couldn't be more different can make room for each other.
