Eminent scientist, Dr Gerard Gill, is on the verge of a discovery that could change the realms of physics, and ultimately the world. He finds himself recruited by a dark and powerful organisation who wish to control his research for themselves. Agreeing to fund his project, they fly him from London to Illinois to a secret research facility, where they can manipulate and suppress the results. Gill has no idea that Jack, his new-found friend in Illinois, is a killer employed by the organisation to tie up loose ends. Nor does he know that the man who recruited him to the project is secretly planning on betraying their employer. Back in London, Gill's childhood friend, Kevin Crist, a likeminded intellectual, is digging into the mysterious disappearance of a woman decades earlier and a deadly disease that has left a trail of destruction across the globe. Only the organisation knows the connection of their projects and how Gill's invention has already altered the course of history. To fulfil his life's dream, Dr Gill could be opening a doorway through space and time that he may never be able to close.
